Dear Editor,
I am writing to you talk about the importance of getting your eagle scout rank. One of the main reasons to get it is that it helps you get college scholarships and helps you do well in job interviews. Personally, my goal is to become an eagle scout. It would help me in almost every way, including survival skills and personal management. That is why it is good to be an eagle scout.
