I know for a fact that Joe Grzboski of Grzyboski's train shop (a forum sponsor) is a Eagle Scout! I only got as far a First Class.
I am an Eagle Scout. 1992 (i think) as part of troop 161 in Hyde Park, Reading PA
My younger brother is an Eagle as well, and my older son is now a bear in Cub Scouts.
I do not have any of these cars but I have considered getting the Eagle one, as part of autobiographical train of things I've done and places I've worked for.
My Nephew from Wisconsin got his Eagle Badge a few years back and I gave him the Eagle box car as a gift to commemorate the occasion!!!
I was a Junior Amvet at the Hank Nowak Amvet post in Buffalo NY when I was a kid. However, my three grown boys all made Eagle, so I just bought three of the Eagle Scout box cars to put under the Christmas Tree!!!!

3 Palms!!! That must have been some merit badge sash. You and Wyatt have my admiration (along with all the other scouts and scouters.)
I have 2 of the BSA ES44AC's. My favorite engines (and my 1st Legacy engine.)
Another question...........who's been to Philmont? '03, '05 & '10 for me and hopefully '17
I hate to admit it in a train forum but Scouting and backpacking as my two favorites activities.
I'm and Eagle Scout (1975). My two sons are Eagle Scouts. So there is a Lionel Eagle Scout car in O gauge and one in S Gauge. (for some reason, the college boy thinks that S is the way to go) I look at it as just More trains to bring home!

My dad bought one of these cars for me about a year ago. Although all my trains are (sadly) boxed up in my parent's basement, this one sits in its box on a shelf in my room. It's a very nice car, although I plan on just keeping it as a display piece even when I do (hopefully soon!) get my trains set back up.
Eagle Scout 1960, Troop 44 Dunmore, Pa. had some of the times of my life loved camping.

That Car is on my "Need to Get" List.
I got my Rank of Eagle back in 2002, Troop 47 (Greater Lowell Council now Yankee Clipper Council) and like most boys got it within 18 days of my 18th birthday. Then I was an Assistant Scout Master for ~7 years.
I've spent half my life in Scouting, and hopefully someday my boy will be into scouting as well.
I don't have the Eagle Car, but I do own the BSA set. It is a great conversation starter when I run it at shows.
I will be picking it up soon though as I don't want to miss out on the car.

All you fellows should be commended and congratulated.......It shows great perserverance and dedication.....I stopped at Life rank with 14 badges, and couldn't get any farther.....What you guys have accomplished is very special, indeed.
My hat is off to all of you.....

Eagle scout 1968. Went to Philmont Scout Ranch this summer ( third time out!). Philmont has found out that they had railroads on the property a long time back. One of the crews had as part of their conservation project to help restore the line and lay some track! Bummer I did not find out about it before I got out there. I would have loved trying my hand at that!

Great experience.

Eagle Scout 1969; one of my most memorable accomplishments. All three sons are Eagle Scouts; very proud of each of them. I served in several positions as an adult; a great opportunity to have a positive influence on young men. I have most of the BSA items; I think they are great. Best wishes to all the Eagles!
I support Scouts !
I made Boy scout Second class ! Was one merit badge from first !
One of my exes took most of my scout stuff ! I have the shirt minus most of medals & merit badges !
The train set looks great !
Anybody have an Eagle Scout Boxcar for sale . I need one for a soon to be Eagle Scout and fellow train nut. The little guy next to me.
