Eagle Scout Recognition


The Sacramento Chapter recognizes Eagle Scouts through "SAR Certificates of Recognition" at BSA Courts of Honor and also participates in the CASSAR and NSSAR Eagle Scout Scholarship Program .

For many years the SAR has recognized the many common bonds of purpose and principles shared by the SAR and the Boy Scouts of America.

Young men achieving the rank of Eagle Scout have demonstrated their belief in these common principles. For this reason, the SAR believes that Eagle Scouts are deserving of special recognition for their dedication and accomplishment.

There are two elements to this recognition. First, there is a recognition of all new Eagle Scouts. This does not depend on any later decision by the new Eagle Scout about whether to compete for the scholarships available, or not. It merely requires someone in the scout troop adult leadership to send a request for the SAR Eagle Scout Recognition Certificate.

Required Application Information

To streamline processing, adult troop leaders should present information using the following layout format order:

  • Eagle Scout's full name exactly as it should appear on the printed certificate.
  • Conclusive calendar date of the scheduled Court of Honor ceremony (if known).
  • Official BSA Council and corresponding District identifiers.
  • Designated local Scout Troop Number.
  • Troop geographic location parameters (City and County fields).
  • Full name of the Chartered Sponsoring Organization.
  • Current adult leader structural position held in the unit by the individual submitting this request.
  • Explicit delivery name and shipping address strings where the certificate should be mailed.
  • Local SAR Chapter handle (if known).
Geographic Jurisdiction Restriction Notice: The application details listed above apply strictly to Eagle Scouts and Scout units operating inside the greater Sacramento regional borders. Leaders managing units outside this region should contact the Eagle Scout Chairman for the California Socitey SAR. You can find that person by visiting the contact section on the National Society site located at: Arthur M. & Berdena King Eagle Scout Contest web page.
