The Eagle has landed - at Michigan State University?

If you can't beat them, join them.

Really?

Michigan State University aims to do what no other college has done.  No, not plant a school flag on the moon.  No, it won't plan to send our nuclear waste to the Earth's magma core.  No, MSU will not begin its own version of Kitchen Nightmares inspired by its own HRI experiences.

And, no, MSU will NOT christen a new Disney professional school inspired by its degree in popular culture.  But, YES, those were all good guesses.

Rather, Michigan State University will proudly start its new Eagle Scout troop.

That's right.  For those of you who fondly remembered your days of camping in the woods with your fellow Scout brethren, who still aspire "To Be Thrifty and Kind, Obedient and Cheerful, and Obey the Scout Law..."  well, you're in luck.  Sure, you may need a refresher course in sharpening those knifes and tying those knots... but probably not in shooting a rifle.  Or maybe you do.

Or maybe you don't.  If you made it to Eagle Scout, likely is you're pretty good at all that camping and outdoors stuff anyways.  And, what are you gonna do with all that you learned in Scouts once you get to college?  Drink it away?  Let's face it, only so many folks ever make it on Survivor.  

So, let's put that knowledge to good use: save the Earth from ourselves, leap tall buildings in a single bound, rescue fair maidens in distress.  Let's start a MSU Eagle Scout Troop!  We'll call it: Eagle One.  
 

Growing up is soooo overrated... Fellow Boy Scouters, we've finally landed.
