The Significance of Eagle Scout
The achievement of Eagle Scout carries with it a special significance in Scouting and also in higher education, business/industry, and the communities we live in. The award is a performance-based achievement with standards established and upheld for over 113 years by those who passed before. Not every youth who joins a BSA Scouting troop earns the Eagle Scout rank; on average, only about 5 percent of all Scouts do so.
With more than 1.7 million youth who have earned the rank since 1912, the goals of Scouting remain significant for ALL Scouts, whether or not they attain the Eagle Scout rank: Citizenship Training, Character Development, and Personal Fitness — centered around leadership and an outdoor program.
Since February 8, 1910, the Boy Scouts of America, Scouts BSA, has instilled values and principles found in the Scout Oath and Law. Scouting and a Duty to God program complement the growth and development of young people in our communities. Their achievements take them to where they are today and provide a path of endless possibilities for where they will be tomorrow.
Eagle Scout Process Steps
As scouts begin their final approach in completing the requirements and earning EAGLE SCOUT, they are encouraged to work with our Eagle Scout Advisors to guide them through the journey from Life Scout to Eagle Scout.
