Spirit of the Eagle Award


 

 
The untimely death of a promising, exemplary young person represents a tragic, sorrowful occurrence for any family and community. For that reason the Boy Scouts of America created the Spirit of the Eagle Award. This award is an honorary, posthumous recognition for a registered BSA youth member who has lost his or her life in an accident or through illness. Bestowed by the National Court of Honor as part of the celebration of the young person's life, the award recognizes the joy, happiness, and life-fulfilling experience Scouting made in that life, while also helping to heal and comfort the youth member's family, loved ones, and friends with the loss.

Award guidelines:
  • recipient must be a registered youth member under 21 years of age at the time of his or her death
  • unit committee must submit an application for the award within six months of the youth member's death
  • unit committee must request the approval of the local council


Applications (BSA No. 92-108) are available through local council service centers or HERE.

I went through the Scouting program, Cub Scouts, Weblos, Boy Scouts...Tenderfoot, 2nd Class, 1st Class, Star, Life and...GOD and Country. What happened to my EAGLE? I had gone to my 6th Summer Camp and earned my remaining required merit badges for my Eagle. Our scoutmaster got transferred right after I had my Eagle Scout board of review. We were planning my special EAGLE COURT of HONOR when my Scout Master was transferred in the military. Sadly, my troop fell apart and I was never awarded the rank of EAGLE which was always my goal. At age 65, I'm still hurt and feel like I worked so hard, for so long, and failed. Eagle, denied.

Is my dream of being awarded the rank of EAGLE really out of the realm of reality.

Please contact me about this. I can check the old records and see if your Eagle was recorded. If it was we could get a local Troop to have your CoH.
