Curtis — Michael W. She wanted them to know that they were worthy and deserving of recognition. Pale Moon's dream became a reality when in she presented the first National American Indian Student Eagle Awards to Indian students in honor of their achievements.

Walking in two worlds and learning to balance the traditional cultural ways of their ancestors with those of today's modern world, has created a unique challenge among American Indian students. Scouts who are lucky enough to become NESA world explorers are given the opportunity to join amazing programs and study their chosen disciplines in exotic locations around the world. Additionally, Eagles will be partnered with leading researchers in fields like ornithology, biology, astrobiology, paleontology, or speleology, depending on their research interests.

These programs are not entirely paid for, however, they are heavily subsidized. For Eagle Scouts who are active in their religious communities, there are quite a few opportunities available for financial support! These awards are granted based on service to community, school, church, and Scouting. Also, be prepared to write about how your religion has positively impacted your life! Applications for scholarships from the National Jewish Committee on Scouting are all due on January 31 st each year.

The Chester M. There are a number of criteria that scouts have to meet in order to be eligible for these awards. The deadline to apply for these scholarships is March 1 st of each year. The application for these awards is different from the NESA application process. Applications are due on May 1 st. Civic scholarships are granted based on how deeply a scout is involved in their communities. Experience volunteering within your church, school, and Scouting organization can give you a leg up when applying for these service-based awards.

You looked up and saw the few above and with the same determination with which you had started your climb, you continued up the trail. You learned that leadership was leading, not driving or pushing. Example is best. The life rank is symbolized by a heart with the First Class badge, the badge of scouting imposed thereon. At this point the trail became tougher, but also more interesting.

The original principals, the Scout Oath and Law now had fuller meaning. Your understanding of them was much greater. As a result, your character unfolded; you became more of a man. Your leadership ability expanded into a valuable asset. Your mind developed and your wisdom increased. Now you stand at the top of the mountain. It is not the end of the trail nor the beginning.

Almost your whole life lies ahead of you. Your part in our country's upbuilding from the past may be small, and your claim to distinction and honor may rest on no basis at all.

But the future is for your own choosing. From your action the judgment must come. The need of your service to your country is greater than all you have previously done. When the drama is finally ended and the curtain is lowered at last, you must rest on the things you have accomplished, not the dreams of the past.

We have the honor and pleasure of recognizing the candidate for the rank of Eagle Scout. This is an important and serious matter. The parents and Scout leaders of this candidate have labored long and faithfully to guide him towards alert and participating citizenship through the Boy Scout program. Their efforts culminate today in the presentation of this Eagle badge.

The Boy Scout movement constitutes one of the most wholesome and significant developments of our day. This scout is worked in the troop, school, church, and community. We found that he has demonstrated this ability in activities that are constructive and worthwhile.

We believe that he qualifies for the Eagle rank. Last and most importantly is the character of this candidate. It was our finding that this candidate is endeavoring to put into daily practice the principles of the Scout Oath and Law which include integrity and honor.

We believe he is qualified as an Eagle Scout and that he will continue those habits of conduct in the future. In light of these inquiries by the Eagle board of review, the court of honor finds the candidate qualified to receive the rank of Eagle Scout. By the authority vested in me by the National Court of Honor of the Boy Scouts of America, it is my privilege and pleasure to pronounce you an Eagle Scout, and be involved in the presentation of that award.

In recognition of fatherly advice and guidance along the trail to the Eagle rank, I will ask your father now to pin the badge of the Eagle Scout. Father pins on the Eagle badge on the left pocket flap. Eagle Scout will now give his father the Eagle Tie Clasp. Service and patient perseverance has been shown by your leaders as they helped you toward worthy manhood. No one will ever know the unnumbered acts of self-sacrifice from your mother.

In recognition of her devotion, the court will now ask you to present her with a miniature pin. Eagle Scout pins Eagle pin on mother and gives her a hug and kiss. Would Scoutmaster and an Eagle Scout please come forward for the summation of our program and the reading of the congratulatory letters. But it should be customized to make each Court of Honor as unique as possible. Troop marches in and remains in the aisle. Color Guard comes forward at the head of the Troop, stops with the Troop at the head of the aisle.

Then continues forward and rotates to face the audience. After the Pledge, while everyone is standing three Scouts come forward and complete the opening ceremony. SPL asks each scout by name to come forward. Their efforts now culminate in the presentation of the Eagle Award. The success of these efforts, however, will only be manifested in the way this new Eagle sets a social pattern for the lives of those he touches". It is little wonder then that so many of our nations greatest leaders had some of their earliest leadership experiences in scouting.

The total development from boyhood to manhood depends on physical, mental and moral growth expressed in the Scout Law and Oath. The skills are so demanding and the challenges so great that it is not surprising to learn that only about 2 percent of all boys in scouting achieve the rank of Eagle.

Let us now reflect on the trail to Eagle which a young man must undertake. My badge represents the international brotherhood of Scouting which I have joined. My three points stand for the three parts of the Scout Oath. You find me on the Mariner's Compass, forever pointing the way to the North Star and a safe journey in life. On my face are two stars representing truth and knowledge, a shield which is the emblem of a nation molded together in justice, and an Eagle to guard the freedom of my land.

The ends of my scroll are turned up in the willing smile of the scout. I was Tenderfoot and I laid a course by the stars of truth and knowledge and I girded myself with the righteousness of justice and freedom. I added a smile that I might be a friend to all and bound myself together with the knot of duty to others. Now that I can stand alone, I have earned the right to improve on my own. To me goes the honor of choosing my field. Before me lies an horizon of endless opportunity. I have shown the world that Scouting is in my heart.

I have mastered knowledge of subjects that will benefit not only myself but my country and my fellowman. I am ready to reach for my wings to fly.
