Growth is the goal.

To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and in recognition of our partnership with America250, Scouting America will present all Eagle Scouts who earn the rank in 2026 with a special commemorative Eagle Scout certificate. This limited‑edition certificate will be available only to Scouts who achieve the Eagle rank during the 2026 calendar year.

The special certificate will be issued automatically beginning February 1, 2026. No special request is required; it will replace the standard Eagle certificate for all 2026 recipients.

Scouts who earned the Eagle rank in January 2026 may request a reprint through their local council.
