🦅Eagle Scout Recognition Event🦅
Each year, the Greater St. Louis Area Scouting proudly gathers the Scouting community for the Eagle Recognition Dinner, an evening dedicated to celebrating the outstanding young men and women who have earned Scouting’s highest honor. With more than 500 Scouts achieving the Eagle Scout Award annually, this distinguished class represents the pinnacle of perseverance, leadership, and service. Fewer than two percent of all Scouts ever reach this milestone, making each Eagle Scout’s achievement a testament to years of dedication, community impact, and personal character.
The evening also pays tribute to an exceptional community leader through the Soaring Eagle Award, our council’s highest recognition, presented to an individual whose lifetime of service, integrity, and commitment to others embodies everything the Eagle Scout rank stands for.
When: Date coming soon
