Of the 535 members of the 115th U.S. Congress, 147 have some sort of connection to the BSA. That’s 27.5 percent.

I’m defining “connection” as one or more of the following:

They were in Scouting as a youth (Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Venturer, Sea Scout, Explorer)
They earned the Eagle Scout rank
They served (or are still serving) as a BSA adult volunteer

These Scouting alumni come from nearly every state and represent both major political parties. The list includes an impressive 32 Eagle Scouts.
