I had a friend in high school who was an Eagle Scout. It was a huge deal--there was a write-up in the paper about him and everything. I don't know if being an Eagle Scout will get you scholarship money (but as others have said, it's possible!), but it is a thing of prestige and I definitely don't think it would be time wasted earning it.
