Outstanding Eagle Scout Award

There are many awards of recognition within the Boy Scout organization for those adult
individuals that exemplify the values expressed in the Scout Oath, Scout Law, and Duty to God.
One of the highest of these is the "Outstanding Eagle Scout Award". The "Outstanding Eagle
Scout Award" is presented to adult Eagle Scouts who bring great honor to the highest rank in
the Boy Scouts of America through their personal and professional contributions at the local,
state and regional levels.
This evening, I am here as a fellow Eagle Scout and representative of the Baltimore Area
Council Executive Board to present the Outstanding Eagle Scout Award to Mr. George Mader,
on behalf of the National Eagle Scout Association.
