Special Eagle Scout Recognitions

Special Eagle and Gold Award Scout Recognitions

U.S. Navy Certificates of Recognition
Contact your local recruiting offices to obtain one of these recognitions (Eagle Scout - left and Gold Award - right):
US Army Youth Certificates of Recognition
Girl and Boy Scout leaders and parents may nominate their scouts for this award (shown at the right) by completing an on-line application or by contacting their nearest U.S. Army Recruiting Battalion. The following information is needed: Scout's name Date and time of ceremony Name, phone number and E-mail address of the person making the request, and Where the Certificate should be mailed (Name and full address) If you would like a Recruiter to attend and present the certificate at the Ceremony, you may make that request, but they cannot promise that they will be able to comply.
US Air Force Youth Certificates of Recognition
U.S. Air Force Certificates of Recognition are awarded to America's Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts because Scouts' values are closely aligned with the Air Force core values: Integrity First, Service Before Self and Excellence In All We Do. Scout leaders or parents may nominate their scouts for this award (shown at the right) by completing an on-line application. The following information is needed: Scout's name, address, and birth date Date of ceremony Name, Troop Number and Title of the person making the request Once the application has been completed, it will be referred to the U.S. Air Force Recruiting office nearest you where it will be processed and presented to your scout. From the form, it appears that they will make personal contact, or send it direct to the Scout's home. You can contact your local Air Force recruiter and have them present the certificate at the Court of Honor. This is not a recruiting ploy, it is just easier to have a recruiter do it, unless you have a military base nearby. As with the Army Certificate, above, they cannot promise that they will be able to comply.

Most web sites of Representatives and Senators have a page devoted to the process for ordering flags from their offices.
