I got the astronaut spiel too, which made me want to be an Eagle Scout. I can't remember how far I got. But it wasn't that close.

I made it to Life too. But I got older and I was more concerned with girls than
merit badges. So no Eagle for this scout.

I don't remember anything about the astronauts, but I was told that it looks good on a resume. I earned it, a long time ago.

Exact same over here Ming.

I made life at the age of 12, and then transferred troops and quit after i went to philmont.

Lacked two badges and the project. Safety, and Personal Management. (ironic since i work in finance now).

I really wish i stuck with it though.

I was one merit badge away from Eagle Scout. It was going to be Astronomy, my big hobby. Then I got kicked out of scouts for hiding behind a bush and ambushing Forrest Lindsey, the scoutmaster's son (a first class weinee), with water balloons. It knocked him off his bicycle.

Too bad, mingster. Get another one. Dogs are better than people.
