The Eagle Scout
It’s Scouting’s highest rank and among its most familiar icons. Men and women who have earned it count it among their most treasured possessions. Those who missed it remember exactly which requirement they didn’t complete. Americans from all walks of life know that being an Eagle Scout is a great honor, even if they don’t know just what the badge means.
The award is more than a badge. It’s a state of being. You ARE an Eagle Scout—never were. You may have received the badge as a young man or young women, but you earn it every day in your adulthood. In the words of the Eagle Scout Promise:
"You do your best each day to make your training and example, your rank and your influence count strongly for better Scouting and for better citizenship in your troop, in your community, and in your contacts with other people. And to this you pledge your sacred honor."
Since its development in 1912, over 2.5 million Scouts have earned Eagle!
In 2021, the first female earned the rank!
We currently have 51 Scouts, since our start over 30 years ago, earn the rank of Eagle Scout. Including the first 2 female Scouts from a Brookfield Troop.
