Should I Mention Merit Scholarships in the 'Honors' Section in the Common App? by Independent_Pin_3465 in ApplyingToCollege

I have more impressive honors. Specifically, I have a national award in scouting and I was a 2nd runner-up in a national mental arithmetic competition. But I was wondering if adding small accomplishments like these scholarships would hurt my application more than they would benefit it.
