Our Eagle Scout Award Program is in place to recognize the achievement of our youth in attaining Scouting’s highest award. Every scout who reaches the rank of Eagle Scout is eligible to be presented a citizenship award. The ceremony is usually held in conjunction with his local troop’s Court of Honor ceremony. Upon request, a Marine will attend your next Eagle Scout Court of Honor and present a Good Citizenship Award Certificate from the Marine Corps League to your new Eagle Scout.
