2012 Eagle Scouts Get Special Badge

If you earn your Eagle Scout rank in 2012, you’ll get a special commemorative rank patch.

2012 is the 100th anniversary of the first-ever Eagle Scout, a young man named Arthur Eldred who earned his Eagle in 1912. So, if you earn your Eagle during the 100th anniversary year, you’ll get a patch that no Eagle before or after you will ever earn.

The special-edition patch will be available at Scout shops after the first of the year.

Remember: Planning and executing an Eagle project takes time. Start working on yours now!

    my youngest son made eagle in October – another boy in the troop last month, and TWO brothers just made it this tuesday night!! On my way to pick up their badges for our town’s Freedom festival this weekend!! AM I PROUD OF THESE BOYS OR WHAT??? Before this year, our troop had 3 eagles in 62 years – the 100th anniv. patch is just more icing on the cake!!!

  11. This is pretty cool, and I hope a LOT of you Scouts earn it!!! I’m a little disappointed that it’s too late for me to get it, but I’ll still be pretty proud of the one I earned in 1965. 🙂

  12. I just got my Eagle rank this February. All of my Eagle friends were jealous that I will get a limited edition patch.
