I have no idea what your comment about homeschoolers has to do with this topic. I’ve known homeschoolers and I have nothing against them. However, I don’t care if you are the son of two geniuses and are a genius yourself, being an Eagle Scout doesn’t hinge on being a genius, it hinges on being a servant leader to those around you and demonstrating that.

I’ve known many very smart people, kids and adults, and being smart doesn’t make one even a good leader let alone a leader of Eagle standards. In fact, usually, being overly smart tends to makes kids loners and adults snobbish, neither of which are characteristics of a good leader.

Homeschooling is a lifestyle of learning and serving. When your school day ends at 8am because you learn year around and choose to wake up before 5am, there is a lot of time in your day to serve, exercise, play, read, learn more...
