Eagle Scout Tribute 2^nd Edition

Since its inception in 1911, the rank of Eagle Scout has represented the pinnacle of Scouting. Awarded to a select few young people who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, character, and commitment to service, the distinctive red-white-and-blue Eagle Scout badge distinguishes those who earn it as truly the best of the best. The honored title of Eagle Scout is held for life, and those who achieve it are expected to lead with integrity in whatever path they choose.

The rank of Eagle Scout has produced generations of leaders whose influence reaches far beyond the Scouting movement. From exploration and public service to business, athletics, and culture, Eagle Scouts have gone on to shape the nation in meaningful and lasting ways. Neil Armstrong and President Gerald Ford are among the many accomplished Americans who proudly earned the Eagle Scout distinction.

We’re honored to offer this commemorative edition of the American-made Henry Golden Boy as a lasting tribute to those who have earned Scouting’s highest rank as a symbol of the values, discipline, and leadership that define the Eagle Scout legacy.

The gleaming nickel-plated receiver is adorned with spectacular engraving mechanically transferred from a hand-cut master plate by artist and engraver Rob Bunting. The right side is highlighted by the image of a majestic bald eagle, accented by distinctive American scrollwork and a banner proclaiming the proud sentiment shared by all Eagle Scouts: Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle. The left side bears the image of the iconic Eagle Scout medal and banners reading Eagle Scout and Scouting America. The engraved images on both sides, along with the winged leaf border, are selectively plated with brilliant 24-karat gold.

A tri-colored medallion replicating the Eagle Scout badge is inlaid into the richly grained American walnut stock. The six badges of advancement that mark a Scout’s journey to the Eagle Scout rank along with the phrase Trail to Eagle are inscribed on the right side of the forearm and hand-filled with gleaming gold.
