GPBoy was an Eagle Scout as well as in Order of the Arrow. I know he thought it was very worthwhile - it opened a few doors for him in job interviews because he won a lot of state awards for it. About 40% of the SigEp chapter he was in are Eagle Scouts. A lot of men in my family are also Eagles. I think it is something definitely worth doing and don't believe it is very costly - it gives them a LOT of useful knowledge and I know it's something Lee took pride in - he wore his Eagle Scout tie tack all the time and had his awards framed and displayed.
