An Eagle Badge is a prestigious honor earned by Scouts in the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) program. Earning an Eagle Badge is the highest achievement a Scout can attain and is a symbol of excellence in Scouting. In the state of Idaho, there are currently over 4,000 Scouts who have earned their Eagle Badge.

Examples of service projects include building a playground, restoring a hiking trail, or organizing a food drive.

The Eagle Badge is a symbol of excellence and hard work, and those who have earned it are highly respected by their peers. The badge is a source of pride for Scouts, their families, and their communities. Earning the Eagle Badge is a life-long achievement that sets Scouts apart from their peers, and is a testament to their dedication to the Scouting program.
