Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in the Scouts BSA program division of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). Since it was first awarded to Arthur Rose Eldred on August 21, 1912, Eagle Scout has been earned by more than two million youth. The list below includes notable recipients.

As of 2014, requirements include earning at least 21 merit badges and demonstrating Scout Spirit, leadership, and service. The requirements include an Eagle Scout Service Project where the Scout must further demonstrate service and leadership. Eagle Scouts are recognized with a medal and a cloth badge that visibly recognizes the accomplishments of the Scout. Eagle Palms are a further recognition, awarded for completing additional tenure, leadership, and merit badge requirements. Typically adult volunteers who have received the Eagle award as a youth wear a smaller patch depicting a square knot.

The Distinguished Eagle Scout Award (DESA) is bestowed to Eagle Scouts for nationally renowned distinguished service in their profession and to the community for a period of at least 25 years after earning the Eagle Scout rank. Since its introduction in 1969 by the National Eagle Scout Association, the DESA has been awarded to over 2,000 Eagle Scouts.^[a]

The NESA Outstanding Eagle Scout Award (NOESA) is bestowed to Eagle Scouts who have distinguished themselves at a local-to-regional level or who have not yet met the 25-year tenure requirement to be considered for a DESA. This award was introduced in 2011.

Афро-американские скауты-орлы

Бойскауты не отслеживали расу скаутов, получивших звание Орла. В течение многих лет считалось, что Эдгар Каннингем , получивший свое звание в 1926 году в качестве члена Отряда 12 в Ватерлоо, штат Айова, в тогдашнем региональном совете Уопсипиникона , был первым чернокожим, получившим звание Орла.

В феврале 2020 года выяснилось, что Гарри Купер из совета Канзас-Сити стал скаутом-орлом в сентябре 1920 года. В информационном бюллетене Совета Канзас-Сити (ныне Совет Сердца Америки) за 1920 год Гарри Купер из Отряда 92 был указан в качестве нового скаута-орла по состоянию на сентябрь. В информационном бюллетене он указан как единственный афроамериканский скаут-орёл в Канзас-Сити, один из десяти скаутов-орлов в Канзас-Сити, штат Миссури, в то время.

В марте 2020 года дальнейшее исследование показало, что суд чести Eagle Scout Гамильтона Брэдли из Римского совета состоялся 19 декабря 1919 года в Риме, штат Нью-Йорк . Это делает Брэдли самым ранним известным черным скаутом-орлом.

Доктор Фрэнк «Тик» Коулман , получивший звание «Орел» в 1926 году, является одним из первых четырех известных афроамериканских скаутов-орлов.

Неправильно считается орлиным разведчиком.

Эти люди, хотя и примечательны сами по себе, иногда ошибочно указываются как получившие награду:

• Генри «Хэнк» Аарон ; бейсболист на пенсии и член Зала бейсбольной славы. Он является лауреатом премии «Серебряный буйвол» . Его часто считают скаутом-орлом из-за рекламы, которую он сделал для BSA.
• Уолтер Кронкайт ; ведущий, журналист и комментатор.
• Генри Фонда ; актер и обладатель премии Оскар , который был скаутом и скаутмастером. Его дочь ошибочно отметила как орла-скаута.
• Харрисон Форд ; Life Scout и актер, сыгравший Индиану Джонса , вымышленного Life Scout в фильме «Индиана Джонс и последний крестовый поход» . сыграл Ривер Феникс в роли молодого Индианы Джонса. Эту роль в фильме
• Билл Гейтс ; Life Scout и соучредитель Microsoft . Его иногда путают с его отцом, Уильямом Х. Гейтсом-старшим, заслуженным скаутом-орлом. Его часто считают скаутом-орлом из-за рекламы, которую он сделал для BSA.
