He currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada. The views and opinions expressed in this message are solely those of the author. I believe what we do for Eagle rank is a model for informal versus formal and immediate versus non-immediate recognition. The boy becomes an Eagle immediately after the board of review (as with all ranks), but he is not formally recognized until his Eagle court of honor. The young man is congratulated and hailed immediately after the board of review. But the formal court of honor is the true recognition of his achievement. I think this process works well for all rank advancements. But that is just my opinion. I DO NOT PROVIDE THE BLANK OR EDITABLE FILES. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!! I

Eagle scout court of honor graduation invitation patriotic LDS announcement high school Boy teenager birthday Mormon. Let me conclude this message by fervently stressing that courts of honor also provide a unique opportunity to recognize, reinforce, reward, and celebrate the accomplishments of adult Scouting leaders and others who contribute so much to the success of the boys. Courts of honor provide a wonderful opportunity to recognize the boys for their achievements, but seldom is the adult leader acknowledged for his or her effort in helping the boys accomplish what they did. Even less often are merit badge counselors recognized or thanked for their part in a boy's progress. Such events also provide the opportunity to identify and thank parents who helped with two-deep leadership, transporting boys, assisting with activities, funding their boy's Scouting effort, and everything else they do to provide a quality Scouting program. I believe we often fail to recognize or thank

5 the adults because we somehow think they don't need it. But human beings need to know that other people appreciate what they do and how well they do it. Just a thought. Instant recognition should happen and is important because of the mobility of many of our scouting families. Some families move quite often or are "just passing through" or "visiting" and they just might not be in "your" unit for the next Court of Honor. It is important for the youth to get support and "a pat on the back" from their peers who they were involved with as they worked on the accomplishment. Also, one or two months from a youth's perspective seems like a lot longer period of time to them than it does from an adult's perspective. Publicity, with special emphasis on photographs in newspapers. Imagine a work environment where you never got formally recognized for your achievements. How long would you continue to be productive before you slowed down or quit? Wise managers know they need to recognize and reward their employees to keep them motivated. Personal recognition is good, but public appreciation has even greater power to inspire people to do more. Hold periodic courts of honor to present young men with merit badges and other awards they

6 have earned. Invite family members and friends so they can show their support for the good things the young men are accomplishing. You could also use a court of honor to allow the young men to share what they are learning and the experiences they are having in Scouting. In the interest of full disclosure, I should point out that scouting isn't really my scene. In Mormon parlance: I don't have a testimony of scouting. This isn't to say that I don't think it's a wonderful program. For those who are invested in scouting, it teaches lifelong skills like hardwork, discipline, ingenuity, determination, and [insert Scout Law here]. It provides young men who are so inclined with an outlet for personal achievement and exploration. I was not so inclined as a youth. I didn't like camping (I have a severe allergy to being outside and the complexion of an albino ghost), I didn't like earning merit badges, and I didn't want to participate in scouting. I earned my Eagle but did so begrudgingly, at the insistence of my parents. I didn't even have a court of honor. I was so bitter about the hoops I'd been coerced into jumping through that the only ceremony I would allow was for my mother to present my Eagle to me in our home during family home evening it was my passiveaggressive way of rebelling

7 against the man. So, perhaps my criticism of anything scout related comes from my own personal bias. My opinion should probably be taken with a gigantic grain of salt. Because of my own admitted biases, I generally keep my mouth shut when it comes to scouting in the Church. I've learned that almost any perceived criticism or attack on scouting is met with forceful push-back from true scouters. I understand this and appreciate the zeal no question scouting has had an incredibly positive impact on a great many young men (as President Monson often points out). Defense of such a laudable program is itself laudable. As such, I'll try to be clear: I am not attacking scouting as a program. It's a genuinely great program. I do, however, have some trepidation about certain aspects of scouting, the Eagle Court of Honor included. As I sat in the Chapel watching the award ceremony, something kept gnawing at me. There was nothing particularly egregious about the program. It had been planned by these young men's. Do you hold regularly-scheduled, formal, quality courts of honor?. Troop 16 Eagle Scout Court of Honor Work Sheet. The same is true in Scouting. When the boys have the deadline of an upcoming court of honor, they feel pressure to finish incomplete requirements so they can be

8 recognized at the upcoming ceremony. Nothing motivates a boy more to acquire his Eagle rank than an imminent eighteenth birthday. Please note we are a large Troop and the number attending the Court of Honor and reception can easily be 100 or more people. Mac, this may be your "model for immediate versus non-immediate recognition" but it's not BSA's. From the 2015 Guide to Advancement: When the board of review has approved his advancement, the Scout deserves recognition as soon as possible. This should be done at a ceremony at the next unit meeting. His achievement may be recognized again later, during a formal court of honor. -Mac McIntire is a dedicated Scouter who has blessed many lives through his service and acute understanding of the Scouting program. He currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada. The views and opinions expressed in this message are solely those of the author. I encourage you to hold regular, formal courts of honor with your boys. I hope you are honoring your boys for their achievements and not just passing out merit badges and rank advancement. I hope your boys truly feel proud of what they have accomplished, because being an honorable Scout requires hard work, perseverance, and dedication.

9 The Eagle candidate should reaffirm his belief in the ideals of Scouting by either reciting the Scout Oath or participating in the Eagle charge. Courts of Honor every three to four months is, also, a time to present the program calendar for both the short-term and long-term future months to the families and to the congregation. This will lend support and coordination among everyone. This is the time to publish the forseeible yearly calendar that is both stable and fluid at the same time. Imagine having a calendar for the next year at each Court of Honor! Of course, the most recent coming three months would be more stable and defined with boy-led d The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Eagle Scout should be given the opportunity to say a few words if he is inclined to do so. All of the Courts of Honor in this document assume that the Eagle Scout comes from the "traditional family:" one mother and one father. This is not necessarily true. Be prepared to handle the exceptions by modifying the ceremonies, as appropriate. Some Eagle Scouts will be part of a single parent family while others will involve multiple sets of parents. Be sensitive to individual situations. In order to obtain letters of recognition and congratulations from government officials, the requests must be

10 mailed a minimum of four weeks prior to the ceremony. Make sure the candidate's parents sit in a special place. I've seen it done only at Courts of Honor in the past and my main concern is that there seems to be less effort during the off months, especially for the rank advancements involving time. If a boy's sixmonth tenure as a Star Scout ends 1-month after a Court of Honor I think he should get the immediate recognition within the Troop after his board of review, and begin working right then on his tenure towards Eagle. There is more purpose to a Court of Honor than just advancement recognition. It can be a time to bring all levels of the Young Men's program together (Boy Scout, Varsity Team & Venturing Crew) so that the younger scouts can see what there is to look forward to in the more advanced programs and so that the older scouts can observe the younger scouts successes and create an environment for the older youth (and the parents, leaders and other interested adults) to recognize those achievements and accomplishments of the younger ones both in the group setting and after the meeting on individual basis. Since the location of the Court of Honor is your choice, the place of a reception afterwards is also yours. Whether or not to have a reception, what kind of

11 refreshments, how much to have, etc. are all up to you. If asked, any members of the committee will help with these arrangements, but the principal direction and decisions must be yours. The Troop will pay for a decorated flat cake for the reception. When using candles for the ceremony, get a supply of fresh candles. Don't try to get by with candles that have previously been used. The Eagle ceremony is a big enough event to warrant fresh candles. Then, save them and use them for other purposes. Tips from a typical Mormon Mom blog - about Eagle Court of Honor. They are from Cedar City and will bring a "live" Eagle to the Court of Honor for a fee. Both the mother and father should receive some recognition from the Eagle Scout himself. The Troop will also pay for the Scout's initial (5 year) membership in the National Eagle Scout Association. Prior to the ceremony, detach the badges and pins from the presentation box. The main purpose of courts of honor in Scouting is to formally recognize the achievements of your boys and provide incentive for your Scouts to advance. Success breeds success. Recognized success breeds even greater success. And publically recognized success through courts of honor breeds additional striving for success. Enter your

Recently I witnessed a very sad incident. During the opening segment of a Sunday priesthood meeting the counselor in the bishopric got up and, stating the ward had not had a Scouting court of honor for some time, he proceeded to pass out the rank advancement and merit badges to the boys in the congregation. He told the boys to make sure they handed the pin on the advancement card to their mothers after church. There was no ceremony; no celebration; no honoring of the

14 boys' achievements. It was a gloomy and anticlimactic end to a lot of hard work. I doubt it motivated the boys to want to strive even harder on future merit badges or rank advancement.

Then, save them and use them for other purposes. Re-dedication of Eagle candidate to Scout Oath & Law (Troop 16 Team). The Eagle candidate's parents should be escorted to the front of the room and should stand or sit near their son. (If neither of his parents is able to attend, his guardian, a close relative or friend should join him.). "Scout-aged boys appreciate tradition, brevity, and meaning. Ceremonies outside of Scouting whether religious or secular usually follow an established ritual framework that allows some personalization. When we go to commencement exercises or weddings we expect some common elements to be part of the proceedings that reflect a shared concept of what the ceremony celebrates. Courts of honor are for Scouts and must speak to them, not just their leaders or parents. The tone is one of honoring achievement formally. If Scouts are laughing up their sleeves at the florid theatrics of an overblown ceremony it may be time to rethink your program. Likewise if the court of honor is just a slog through calling names and handing out badges it is missing something" ( As in any other BSA program, it is important that Sea Scouts receive prompt recognition; thus it may be a good idea to present awards informally first at a ship meeting and then again (more formally) at the next bridge of honor. Some things to think about while planning the event:. In Eagle ceremonies, as in so many other areas of life, it is often the small things that cause the problems and ruin the big things.
