I'm married to an Eagle Scout. It's about the only thing you'll do as a teenager that you'll still be proud of during mid-life crisis.
Recently deceased Randy Pausch wrote about Eagle Scouts in his book "The Last Lecture." He noticed they made very good leaders in his class. He sees the achievement of Eagle as the triumph of earnestness over hipness.
And, lest I neglect it, Congratulations to Mom and Dad [I presume]. Looks like the gentleman, sporting the Order of the Arrow, has been a troop leader. Lovely.
