Scouting's highest rank
Eagle Scouts
Fewer than one in ten Scouts nationally earns Eagle Scout. In Troop 75, it's a well-traveled trail: 18 or more new Eagle Scouts since 2023 alone.
The trail to Eagle
Eagle Scout is the highest rank in Scouting America. To earn it, a Scout climbs through the ranks (Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star and Life), earns at least 21 merit badges, serves in a troop leadership position, and plans and leads a service project that benefits the community, all before turning 18.
Troop 75 makes that trail well marked:
- An Eagle coordinator works one-on-one with Life Scouts on their project proposals, workbooks and applications.
- Merit badge counselors for more than 100 badges among our own adult leaders, so most badges can be earned without leaving the troop.
- Our Merit Badge College, held each January and open to Scouts from every troop, packs a year's worth of classes into one day.
- Quarterly Courts of Honor celebrate every step along the way, and every new Eagle gets an Eagle Court of Honor of their own.
