Eagle Court of Honor
One of the greatest moments in the Eagle Scout process is the Court of Honor. This is the 
event that celebrates your success with those who helped you and the rest of the community. We’d like to share some advice that may help make your special event even a little more special. Please use this as a guide to help the community celebrate.
Invite the following to share in your special day:
Your Community
- All the parents, Scouts, and leaders who assisted you on your trail to Eagle, including your project
- Any vendors or donors who helped
- The non-profit or recipient of your efforts
- The Institutional Head of your chartered organization
- Elected Officials or other community leaders
- Extended family – they likely helped you in ways you may not yet realize
The Scouting Community
- Your troop
- Camp directors, merit badge counselors, and countless others that helped behind the scenes to help make Scouting thrive
In addition, your council would love to have a representative on hand to celebrate on that special day, and to present a certificate in recognition of your achievement. Once you have selected your Court of Honor date, please send an invitation to:
The Spirit of Adventure Council, 2 Tower Office Park, Woburn, MA 01801
Send Out Public Announcements
- List your Eagle Award in your chartered organization newsletter or bulletin
- Send a press release to the local media.
- Take a picture RIGHT NOW with your family, and post to your social media outlets. Tag your Scouting Community and The Spirit of Adventure Facebook site.
Other Helpful Information
- The National Eagle Association offers several academic and merit scholarships. Be sure to bookmark NESA.org, read about the offerings, and set a reminder for yourself to apply. There is a fairly tight window of opportunity to do this and all submissions must be completed online by October 31 of each year.
- As a bonus, each Eagle Scout who applies for a national NESA scholarship is automatically entered for consideration for our Spirit of Adventure NESA scholarship.
- There is also the Glenn A. and Melinda W. Adams Award. This is a service project of the year award. Each council selects one recipient and our selection is further considered at the regional and national levels, which have cash awards attached to them. The form for this award can also be found on NESA.org. Send the completed form, along with a copy of your Eagle project workbook by next January 21, to the Spirit Adventure Council at the Woburn address.
- Finally, Scouts will receive an invitation in the future to attend our annual Eagle Scout recognition dinner.
