There is always a hint.

Let's say I am an Eagle Scout. I want to write about something I did as an Eagle.

Well, guess, what. I've told you a metric F-ton about myself.

What makes that unfair? Being an Eagle Scout can convey information about your talents and character.

It's explicitly favoring people over immutable characteristics like race or what university your parents attended that is unfair.

Nothing is wrong with it, but it gives a STRONG hint on demographics I bet.

The only solution is to ban participation in any organizations of any sort before one attends college.
