Know a Scout seeking a little extra motivation to finish his Eagle requirements next year? I\u2019ve got it.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the centennial of Scouting\u2019s top honor,\u00a0all recipients of the Eagle Scout Award in the year 2012 will be eligible to wear a special version of the\u00a0red, white, and blue badge, seen here.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next year will mark 100 years since\u00a0Arthur Rose Eldred became the BSA\u2019s first Eagle. Since that date \u2014 Aug. 21, 1912 \u2014 more than 2 million outstanding young men have earned the award.<\/p>\n

The special-edition patch, available at local Scout Shops after the first of the year, will\u00a0help make an already-special honor even more noteworthy.<\/p>\n

Know a Scout seeking a little extra motivation to finish his Eagle requirements next year? I’ve got it.<\/p>\n
To celebrate the centennial of Scouting’s top honor, all recipients of the Eagle Scout Award in the year 2012 will be eligible to wear a special version of the red, white, and blue badge, seen here.<\/span><\/p>\n
Next year will mark 100 years since Arthur Rose Eldred became the BSA’s first Eagle. Since that date — Aug. 21, 1912 — more than 2 million outstanding young men have earned the award.<\/p>\n
The special-edition patch, available at local Scout Shops after the first of the year, will help make an already-special honor even more noteworthy.<\/p>\n
Why the special patch? I’m told that after the overwhelming popularity of the 100th Anniversary of Scouting rank badges<\/a>, Boy Scouts of America officials said it made sense to find a similarly unique way to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Eagle Scouts.<\/p>\n
A cool, new patch that will motivate Scouts? You won’t hear any complaints from me — or your guys!<\/p>\n
