Just to put this out there:

My brothers in the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house, where I lived, who were outstanding for high ideals and clean living, were all former Scouts. I felt a college organization should be formed that would strengthen men in these ideals, and give them an opportunity for leadership experience and for service to others.
As a senior at Lafayette College, I talked to some of the men with a scouting background and the response was good. These men would join an organization based on the ideals of scouting.

By the way, I'm also an Eagle Scout.

More specifically, of the 14 student founders of Alpha Phi Omega in 1925, 8 were members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 7 having inititated at Lafayette(Pennsylvania Gamma Gamma), and Frank Reed Horton who initiated up at Boston University (Massachusetts Beta Upsilon). 5 were members of the Krescent local which would become a chapter of Kappa Delta Rho in 1927 and 1 was an independent.
