Yes, that's why this dad (probably) forced his kid to become an Eagle Scout. But it is not evidence that being an Eagle Scout is an accomplishment. Because it's really not. It's the ultimate box checking exercise. No individual step is something that a kid with a room temperature IQ couldn't do. It's simply sustaining a modest amount of effort for ~8 years.

If a kid does that of their own volition then it's evidence of something.

If a kid does it because their parents made them do it in order to put it on their college application then it's meaningless.
