Special badge for Scouts who earn the Eagle Rank in 2012
To celebrate the centennial of Scouting’s top honor, all recipients of the Eagle Rank in the year 2012 will be eligible to wear a special version of the red, white, and blue badge.
This year marks 100 years since Arthur Rose Eldred became the BSA’s first Eagle Scout. Since that date — Aug. 21, 1912 — more than 2 million outstanding young men have earned the award.
The special-edition patch shown below, will be available at local Scout Shops after the first of the year. This will help make an already-special honor even more noteworthy. Only those earning the Eagle Rank in 2012 may obtain this patch; they will be required to show documentation.
