Mentoring:
Our goal is to connect every new Eagle Scout with a mentor. As a young adult navigates choices about future career paths, a mentor can help guide their road to success. Mentors are interested in giving back to the community and dedicated to supporting our young emerging leaders who recently earned Eagle.

Eagle Scout Recognition Dinner Update:
Due to our dedication to keeping our Scouts and families safe, and the restrictions around the number of people that can gather indoors, the Class of 2019 Eagle Scout Recognition Dinner has been postponed. Recent Eagle Scouts still have the opportunity to connect with a career mentor: Eagle Scout Mentoring.
The Cradle of Liberty’s Eagle Class of 2019 and the Eagle Class of 2020 will be celebrated in-person at the Eagle Scout Recognition Dinner on Thursday, May 13, 2021 at the Crowne Plaza in King of Prussia. More details to come.

National Outstanding Eagle Scout Award
In 2011 the National Eagle Scout Association created the National Outstanding Eagle Scout Award as a way to recognize adult Eagle Scouts who have demonstrated outstanding achievement at the local, state, or regional level. This can include exemplary volunteer service to Scouting and/or in the community, achievement in their professional field, distinguished military service, or other accomplishments over an extended period of time. The nominee must currently live within the boundaries of the council but does not have to have earned his Eagle Scout Award as a member of our council.
To nominate an Eagle Scout for this prestigious award, please see the NOESA Nomination Instructions

Join the Eagle Giving Society
Join the growing number of Eagle Scouts who are giving back to the program that has meant so much to them. Every dollar you invest stays right here in our Council and helps send Scouts to camp, supports at-risk youth, and provides our volunteer leaders with the tools and resources needed to ensure the benefits of a high-quality program. The Eagle Giving Society was created as a way for Eagle Scouts who are not currently involved in a unit to give an annual gift to Scouting. Thank you to all of the Eagle Scouts who have already given an annual gift through the Cradle of Liberty Council’s Friends of Scouting campaign!
