I'm pretty sure that getting an Eagle helped me get admitted to Caltech. But I never put it on a resume after college, as I doubted anyone cared. I have since known employers who were Eagles themselves say they regarded it as a positive on the resume.
I never even made Tenderfoot, but the Eagles I've known have been largely among the best people. Granted, I'd raise an eyebrow somewhat to see it on a resume especially these days, just because of the novelty if nothing else, but at minimum I wouldn't think less of someone for it.
