From www.scouting.org

The Boy Scouts of America teaches young people to be good citizens and trains them to become leaders. These qualities are also found in the U.S. astronaut program. Of the 321 pilots and scientists selected as astronauts since 1959, more than 180 were Scouts or have been active in Scouting: 40 Eagle Scouts, 25 Life Scouts, 15 Star Scouts, 26 First Class Scouts, 17 Second Class Scouts, 12 Tenderfoot Scouts, three Explorers, 29 Cub Scouts, 11 Webelos Scouts, and five with unknown ranks.

Of the 12 men to physically walk on the moon's surface, 11 were involved in Scouting.
