The rank of Eagle Scout is the highest rank that can be earned in the Boy Scouts of America. It requires considerable
perseverance to get there. Once achieved, the Scout is recognized by his peers, his community, and his nation, as having
achieved something very significant - something few attain in their lives.
Once an Eagle Scout, you have topped a high
mountain climbed by fewer than one out of every 172 boys, and less than 3% of all Scouts.
Eagle Scouts are valued in
our society because they have proven that they can achieve a long-term goal despite many obstacles. This will help on
college admission and job applications.
If you have a picture of your Eagle Scout that you would like put on the website,
email it to svboyscouts@svboyscouts.org and we'll include it in the website.
