I need some advice

Alright so I kind of quit boy scouts a year or two ago and have been participating in a venture crew that does robotics. So since I only have 4 months until I am 18 I thought it would be impossible to get my eagle (Because you have to be active for 6 monthts steady) But it turns out venture crews count as being active. So now I am given the option of doing 3 of the hardest merit badges plus an eagle project. What do you guys think? I feel obligated and plus it looks gooood on a resume (except for the eagle that killed that one dude...)

do it, if you put that on your resume, you almost certainly get the job

all i have to say is you better get the copulate moving. i have a feeling you need all the citizen ship badges AND THOSE ARE A female of the dog species . some kids in my troop got eagle right before midnight of there birthday so it may be possible but you need to do nothing but eat and sleep scouts. you still need a project and it has to be approved first, id reccomend calling up a church or park and asking

and good luck i hope you get it

I need citizenship in the community and world, nation looked like it was the hardest, the most annoying part I see is volunteer work but I do plenty. The other is Environmental science which is a pain, you have to write papers. But now that i am older I would have no problem writing a few papers in one weekend.

Do it! yeah those badges are a pain but I have 25 badges right now and all I need to do is my eagle project... which is a pain.

But how much time do you have left?

see you have plenty of time, I just slacked off for a while, how hard were those badges compared to say, like communications or society in the nation.

yeah, did you do your eagle project yet? What was it?
You have all the 3 month badges done, right? So its possible, but it depends how much effort you put into it.

Environmental science is hard- you have to visit a plot of land constantly for a few weeks. Then you have to make crazy stuff like a self contained ecosystem.

World- you have to get a letter from an embassy or meet someone from another country

Community- you have to go to a local town meeting or school board meeting

My friend missed his eagle by a week. It sucked for him.

Go for it! You know you'll hate yourself forever and ever if you don't. This would be a sad thing to miss. I'm glad I finished mine. I had my 18th birthday, eagle ceremony, and high school graduation all within two weeks of each other. I was rolling in cash from relatives!

Yeah what are you talking about? I'm guessing like an older form of the boyscouts?

You're halfway there - Venture Crew is a program aimed at older guys (girls too) and is associated with the Boy Scouts. It's for ages 14 - 21, I think.
