Scouting provides a series of surmountable obstacles and steps in overcoming them through the advancement method. Scouts plan their own advancement and progress at their own pace as they meet each challenge. Scouts are recognized and rewarded for each achievement, which helps them gain self-confidence. The steps in the advancement system help a Scout grow in self-reliance and in the ability to help others.
The rank of Eagle Scout is a performance-based achievement whose standards have been well-maintained and highly regarded over the years. Not every Scout who joins a Scouts BSA troop earns the Eagle Scout rank; only about 6 percent of all Scouts do so. This represents more than 2 million Scouts who have earned the rank since 1912. Nevertheless, the goals of Scouting—citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness—remain important for all Scouts, whether or not they attain the Eagle Scout rank.
