The Eagle Scout award is nationally recognized as the pinnacle of Scouting. The Eagle Charge notes that it is not only the end of a process—earning merit badges, demonstrating leadership, and providing service being the formal requirements for the rank, but it also entails a life long responsibility to wear the badge proudly. It states:

The foremost responsibility of an Eagle Scout is to live with honor. To an Eagle Scout, honor is the foundation of all character.

The second obligation of an Eagle Scout is loyalty…which means devotion to community, to country, to one's own ideals, and to God.

The third obligation of the Eagle Scout is to be courageous [which] means not only the courage to face physical danger, but the determination to stand up for the right..

The fourth obligation of an Eagle Scout is to be cheerful.

The final responsibility of an Eagle Scout is service. The Eagle stands as protector of the weak and helpless. He aids and comforts the unfortunate and the oppressed. He upholds the rights of others while defending his own. He will always "Be Prepared" to put forth his best.

No wonder only about 2% of all Scouts ultimately earn the Eagle badge. It is a measure of the program of Troop 19, and the boys who join the troop, that about 10% of Scouts who join earn Eagle before their 18th birthday.
