The Certificate of Recognition presentation was conducted by Compatriot Michael
Tieman, Secretary of the Lewis and Clark Chapter Color Guard.
The
Eagle Court of Honor awards program for troop #198 was from 3:30-5pm on May 7,
2016 at St. Andrews Lutheran Church, Beaverton, Oregon.
“The Eagle Scout awards were begun in 1912 and there were a total of 23. In 2014 that number grew to 51,820 yet only 2% of all the Boy Scouts since 1912 have attained the rank of Eagle,” said Grier Ingebretsen Eagle Scout Chairman for the Lewis & Clark Chapter. “I congratulate these six fine young men on earning the rank of Eagle. As an Eagle Scout they represent Scouting’s finest tradition of duty to God and country, duty to others, and duty to self. All values which build strong character, strong families and strong communities.”
The
Eagle Scouts Scholarship
Each year, the National Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution (NSSAR) honors outstanding Eagle Scout
applicants with the Arthur M. & Berdena King Eagle Scout Scholarships.
There are 3 national awards, the first place award being $10,000. Eagle Scouts
can apply through the local SAR Chapter. The Chapter Winner is then judged at
the state level. OSSAR then sends the winning application on for national
competition.
