Eagle Alumni of Central Maryland
Since America's earliest days, the Eagle has been held in high regard...by the first inhabitants of this land, by the founders of our nation, and by those in the Boy Scouts of America who created a time-honored process by which young men could grow into resourceful and productive citizens.   Only a few have the qualities it takes to attain the rank of Eagle Scout. And that's why the Baltimore Area Council Scouting community is conducting a region wide Eagle Scout search and hosting events for Eagle Alumni.
