A different way to look at this... (Awesome post!)

A different way to look at this.

Life to Eagle takes on average of about 450 hrs.

The other ranks about 300 each.

So an eagle has a minimum of 2250 hrs. If he earned AOL as a webelo make that about 3250 hrs. For comparison, it takes about 3000 hrs to receive an associate degree from college. So to all you eagles out there: Congratulations you earned it.

I have never really thunk about it that way.

Now that is some neat math!

Thanks for the information,

Nice math but I disagree it takes 300 hours each to get the ranks tenderfoot -firstclass

When you add up the hours spent at outings and overnight campouts, it sounds reasonable to me.

I suppose it could take that long, notexactly sure....still neat post!

apparently, 3000 hours is equivalent to 125 days. i actually didn't know that it took 125 days to get an associate degree. that's really cool calculations!
