They’re still decently smaller than Preds and Global Hawks though so wasn’t sure if CBP would value that time from a drone perspective.
On the qualifications they list what they count, mq1, mq9, and manned time. You can always apply but I wouldn’t put the scan eagle time in the total time. Might just want to list it in a separate category to show that you have UAS time. Im sure if they wanted shadow or scan eagle time to count towards the total they would make a cutout for them.
