Eagle Scouts
The National Eagle Scout Association has begun a national Eagle Scout search program to find and contact every living Eagle Scout and register his achievement, past and present. According to director Bill Steele in a news release, “this effort will culminate in ROLL CALL: THE NATIONAL EAGLE SCOUT REGISTRY — a publication that will capture the tradition, history and honor of our nation’s Eagle Scouts and will be available only to bona fide Eagles. Only Eagle Scouts who agree to be listed and who are adults will be included in the directory. Eagle Scouts may soon receive correspondence from Harris Connect of Chesapeake, Va., about this program. For more information, call toll free (866) 753-3506 to submit information or purchase the directory.
