Kennedy and Ford definitely. Possibly Carter and Reagan. It should be noted the BSA was only founded in l908, and for example, President Johnson was only Born in that year, so (he was president l963-68) so one has to box the compass chronologically.Theodore Roosevelt supported the movement, and was almost a co-founder with Daniel Beard and Ernest Thompson Seton of ( Wild Animals I have Known) sorry, there is no chapter on Philip Spector in Seton"s tome.

JFK was the first former scout to be President.

Gerald Ford was the first and only Eagle Scout to be president.

Bill Clinton and GW Bush were cub scouts.

Since the inception of scouting in 1910 nearly all of the presidents have had some realtionship to scouting, often as adult leaders.
