Dr. Bob, you made me think (I hate when that happens).
In the 4 treks our troop has made 29 of 35 scouts have attained the rank
of eagle. Several from our '01 trek are in the process. After all is said
and done I would
expect almost 90 %.
We are a small troop (20) from a VERY rural area (98 students in K-8th grade
school)
but try to go to Philmont every 3 years so everyone has the opportunity.
On the "off" years we plan other high adventure trips.
