Wood Badge S
I am an Eagle Scout whose most notable accomplish-ment was being the first person to walk on the moon.
After my military career, I wrote a book called “Scouting for Boys” and started the scouting movement in 1907
A founder of the BSA, my organization – Sons of Daniel Boone merged with the Boy Scouts. I designed the first uniform.
A Distinguished Eagle Scout, I was a Tuskegee Airman and hold the Air Force Record for most combat missions flown - in WW2, Korea, and Viet Nam.
I am the first Eagle Scout and was later awarded the Honor Medal for saving lives. Baden-Powell was on my Board of Review.
I created an organization called Woodcraft Indians that Baden-Powell used to fashion many of the early scout programs. In 1910, I became the Chief Scout.
I lost my way in a London fog and ran across a young scout who came to my aid – and refused a tip. Being impressed, I met with Baden Powell and started the BSA one year later.
I was a successful attorney despite being orphaned and physically handicapped. In 1911, I became the first Chief Scout Executive for the BSA and retired in 1943.
Born in Virginia, I sang God Bless America from which millions of dollars of royalties were directed to US Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.
I am the Eagle Scout that spoke at 2010 National Jamboree closing – and known as the ambassador of dirt.
