I received my Eagle in '93. I cut it close, but had everything done by my 18th birthday. My overall experience had its ups and downs, but Scouting was a great building experience.
Early on, while I was a Cub Scout and in Webelos, my family lived on the island of Kwajalein, in the Marshall Islands. The island was leased by the U.S. government, and run by the military, who were very supportive of scouting. They had 2 scout camps on the island (quite a lot, considering the island was only 2 miles long and 1/2 a mile wide), and would also allow us to travel to some of the nearby uninhabited islands for campouts.
