Attaining the status of Eagle Scout is a noteworthy achievement, and is often an early sign that a man is going places with his life. Do you recall which high-achievers were Eagle Scouts when they were young? That’s the subject of today’s Lunchtime Quiz at mental_floss. I scored seven out of twelve. Surely you can do better!

Scout Earned All Merit Badges

Posted by Alex in Everything Else on January 4, 2009 at 11:54 am

If his dedication to the Boy Scout is any indication, Shawn Goldsmith will surely go far. He has accomplished a rare feat: he earned all 121 Boy Scout merit badges available!

You only need 21 to get the title "Eagle" Scout. "If I run into a stranger, there’s definitely something to talk about. I have 121 topics to talk about," he says when asked why he did it.
