Honoring Those Who Serve as America Approaches 250 Years As our nation moves closer to celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026,

In a world full of distractions, shortcuts, and uncertainty, the rank of Eagle Scout still stands for something powerful: leadership, resilience, service, and character.
