Best way to talk about and add Eagle Scout in TMDSAS application
Howdy friends,
Long time-lurker, first time poster. I’m currently wrangling the TMDSAS application as a Texas-resident. My one question that I can’t seem to get a clear answer on really is how/where/if I should include Eagle Scout and some of my scouting experience in my application.
My initial interpretation is that as the award was received during High School, it should not be listed. However, I have also seen that people consider Eagle Scout one of the exceptions. Is still considered the case? I was heavily involved with scouting at a national level and it is relevant to my story, but also it was a long time ago. (I’m a non-trad applicant as well). I’ll take any opinions I can get on this! Most of the threads I’ve found concerning this are from a while ago.
(Side note: Scouting as a whole has gone through a lot of transition and has found itself in the crossfire politically which gives me some pause to mention it, but at the same time I know it can still be viewed as important to many reviewers)
