When I was growing up in Scouting, I was told that 'only 1% of boys make it to Eagle Scout'. I believe I fact-checked the number then (around Y2K) and it was 3%. In 2013, 7% of Boy Scouts achieve the rank of Eagle Scout. As for how long it take, it really varies. The minimum age you can become a Boy Scout is 10. In addition, there are time requirements built into the ranks. 1  Star - serve as First Class Scout for 4 months.  Life - serve as a Star Scout for 6 months.
