EAGLE CONGRATULATION LETTERS
When sending notes to people asking for letters of commendation, please include:



The Scout's FULL NAME (not just "Sparky" or "Jimmy" but "Samuel James Jackson" or "James Ray Morrison")
The Scout's TROOP NUMBER AND COUNCIL NAME (the Troop number is that white number on the red
background on his left shoulder; the Council; the Council name appears on that patch right above it), and
A SHORT DESCRIPTION of the Eagle Scout Service Project.
Many people writing a letter to acknowledge an Eagle Scout would also like to know how the person earned the badge.
This gives them more than just a "congratulations, Johnny, on your achievement" line and also can allow the letter to be
a bit more personalized than boilerplate letters.
Remember that the purpose of a congratulatory letter is to honor the Scout and that each person you write may be
getting many, many requests. This is not a race or a contest to see who can get the most letters. Often a few letters are
more meaningful than a scrapbook full of letters that ends up on a shelf. Sometimes the best thing is a letter or two
from an admired prominent person, a state official like a governor, a local official like a mayor, and letters from local
prominent people that the Scout knows or who know the Scout.
Please pick and choose so that people who are willing to write a letter do not get overwhelmed and decide to stop
accepting requests.
In the tables below, incumbents who will be leaving office as a result of an election, resignation, or other reasons, are
shown in RED, while "Acting", "Elect", or newly appointed (but, as yet unconfirmed or installed) officials are shown in
GREEN.
