The
Eagle Award is the highest honor that a Boy Scout can earn during his years
in Scouting. Approximately one in every fifty youth who join Boy Scouts
earn this award. Only one out of every two Life Scouts reach this
final peak in their Scouting careers.
In the early days of Scouting, a Scout earned his Star Award by earning just five merit badges, being a First Class Scout and appearing before an examining committee. For Life, a Scout had to qualify for ten merit badges and be a First Class Scout. However, he had to earn the First Aid merit badge, which required six months service since becoming a First Class, and the Physical Development merit badge (which also required six months to earn) or Athletics. In addition, he had to earn Personal Health, Public Health, and Life Saving or Pioneering. Later the requirements for Star, Life and Eagle were changed and additional required merit badges, community service and time requirements were added. It was not until 1927 that Eagle Palms were added to the list of awards for Boy Scouts. The Eagle Scout Award could be earned by adults until 1965. In 1965, a requirement was added to Eagle that an Eagle Scout applicant must have served for at least six months in a youth leadership position since becoming a Life Scout. Adults could not do this so they could no longer meet all the requirements for Eagle. The record here of Eagle Scouts starts with the year 1923 when the council was organized. We have not found records of Eagle Scouts listed before that time, although we know there were Eagle Scouts then. There are gaps in these records and not all persons who earned the Eagle Award are known. Also, for those counties that joined Buffalo Trail Council at a later date, we do not have the list of Eagle Scouts prior to their joining. The names of Eagle Scouts in Buffalo Trail Council were taken from information provided by the Buffalo Trail Council, newspapers and other sources. |
