101 Eagle Award

Scouts may complete their requirements for Eagle according to the national BSA requirements.
Many Scouts and families came to our troop looking for something more.
In keeping with traditional camping and outdoor values and skills, we offer two optional additional recognitions that a Scout in Troop 101 may earn:

First Class Camp is a troop-optional award that must be earned prior to a First Class Board of Review. Those Scouts completing the award will be recognized at the next Court of Honor with a Scout Stave with the First Class logo and their name as well as having a red border added to their troop neckerchief.

The second troop-optional award will be that of "101 Eagle". To qualify to become a "101 Eagle", a Scout must have earned his First Class Camp Stave and also complete Cooking Merit Badge prior to filing his Eagle Application. The recognition for this is the Troop Eagle Mug.

Scouts First Class and above transferring into the troop would have an opportunity to earn a First Class Camp Stave by completing the First Class Camp requirement prior to their next rank (Star, Life, or Eagle).
