Having done hiring before, I can definitively state that is false
If someone decided to use their limited resume space to include Eagle Scout, I would view it negatively. It means they had nothing else relevant they could add
So at a minimim there is at least one interviewer for which it is a negative. Can’t speak for everyone though
Great to know I wouldn’t want to work for your company with an attitude like that. its nice that you’re saving the Eagle Scouts the time, effort, and energy to figure out that your a terrible interviewer and (potentially) manager.
Same. As someone who stands up and runs whole departments, being an Eagle Scout is a minor detail akin to the location of your high school and if you try to pump that up as a qualification I don’t care.
I also say that as someone who was in scouts up to life scout and consciously decided the troop leadership was BS and eagle was meaningless.

Yes. Just because of the resume thing.
Doesn’t sound like it’d be a culture fit anyway
Companies have different cultures. No one is a fit for every company. Point is it would be a negative in plenty of cases
