Only 4 percent of Scouts achieve the rank of Eagle Scout. To obtain this rank, Scouts must first work their way up the ladder of rank. Along the way, just as it has been for over 100 years, today's Eagle Scouts earn 21 required merit badges. Although some of the required merit badges have changed many have remained the same since 1912.
Scouting has taught the same values for over 100 years. And the saying, “Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle” started with the first Eagle Scout our country honored. Scouts are charged to give back to their churches, their community, and to scouting. Many of the Eagle Scouts that will be honored have fathers who grew up in scouting and are still giving back today.
