The fact that a boy is an Eagle Scout has
always carried with it a special significance, not only in Scouting but
also as he enters higher education, business or industry, and community
service. The award is a performance-based achievement whose standards
have been well-maintained over the years. Not every boy who joins a Boy
Scout troop earns the Eagle Scout rank; only about 4 percent of all Boy
Scouts do so. This represents more than 1 million Boy Scouts who have
earned the rank since 1911.
Nassau County has the distinction of being the home of America's first Eagle Scout, Arthur Eldred (Troop 1, Rockville Centre). Nevertheless, the goals of Scouting—citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness—remain important for all Scouts, whether or not they attain the Eagle Scout rank.
