This is a note to adults connected with Boy Scouts, whether Scoutmasters, troop advancement chairs, parents or other legal guardians. As you're planning for Eagle Scout Courts of Honor, don't forget to pass on the good news to the Herald-Press. We gladly publicize the accomplishments of our local Eagle Scouts (and likewise for Girl Scouts who earn their Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards). Here's the information we need:
• Scout's first and last name, age, Troop number, school and grade currently attending, and parents' names
• Scouting information: How long your new Eagle has been involved in Scouting, whether he started in elementary school as a Tiger Cub or in middle school; what awards has he won (think Arrow of Light, Order of the Arrow, Lifesaving and Meritorious Action awards, 50-miler hike, etc.; if he's gone to a high adventure camp like Philmont or the Northern Tier or has served as a camp counselor at Pirtle or elsewhere; how many merit badges he earned
• Eagle project: A sentence or two briefly describing the Eagle project that the Scout designed and led;
• Educational plans: A sentence stating what your Eagle plans to do, such as attend a particular college or enlist in the military
• A photograph that we can print, preferably in digital format or an original print. Paper copies do not reproduce well because they've already been printed once and the dots show up when we reprint. We will certainly return your photo.
