Yes. If you make it to an Eagle Scout level in the Boy Scouts of America, that is a very good leadership extracurricular on your common app application.

Hope that answers your question.

It sometimes is, however, no matter what, you should list Eagle Scout on your resume. That is a very high honor, and colleges and even employers know that.
