<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 659801, member: 16948&quot;]Although this is related more to after the scout has collected all the necessary merit badges and has made it to Eagle Scout, I hope you don&#039;t mind if I offer two other suggestions that were given to me by another parent of an Eagle Scout.&nbsp; If you send out requests to all the major dignitaries you can think of and find addresses for, such as any major authority who works in the White House, your senators, congressmen, governors, celebrities, astronauts (current and past), sports figures, local government officials, etc., they will send your new Eagle Scout a signed congratulatory letter, certificate, and even photo.&nbsp; I had the letters sent to my p.o. box and then put them all in an album and presented them to my sons at their Eagle Courts of Honor so it was a complete surprise (well, at least to my first son, since my second son suspected he would get the same!).&nbsp; They even received a signed photo from Bob Hope, one of the former astronauts, and a lot of other dignitaries.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I also contacted our local congressman and asked that a flag (which you have to pay for) be flown over the capital in both of my sons&#039; honor.&nbsp; They post the flag on a pole above the capital, fly it briefly, pull it down, fold it up, and send it to your son with a certificate indicating the date it was flown.&nbsp; It&#039;s pretty special, and something they can keep and post to fly over their own home during special holidays.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
