Criteria and formatting

This is a list of Eagle Scouts who are considered notable. While many other lists abound, they are usually oriented towards a certain point of view, either positive or negative and generally lack reliable references. This list strives to maintain the fundamental Wikipedia principle of a neutral point of view.

Inclusion

;To be included on the list, the person must:

be a verified Eagle Scout
have an article that meets the notability standards
have a proper reference

Fictional Eagle Scouts are added to Scouting in popular culture.

Removal

* Wikipedia is not censored; deleting an entry simply because they are a "fallen Eagle" advances a point of view not compatible with the aims of Wikipedia.

If an Eagle Scout with an article is thought to be non-notable, then the article should be recommended for deletion per articles for deletion. If the article is deleted, then the Eagle Scout in question is considered to be non-notable and the entry will be removed from the list.
Entries added without citations or articles are subject to speedy removal to the todo page.
- Upon discovery, the entry should be immediately tagged with {{fact}}.
- An attempt will be made to contact the editor who added the entry.
- The notability tests will be applied by a concerned editor; if notability is determined and a citation can be determined, the citation will be added.
- If notability cannot be determined or no citation can be found, and no contact is made by the adding editor, the entry shall be removed.

Formatting

When the article is edited, an editnotice will show above the edit box that gives the instructions for formatting each entry.

Articles

*When updating articles, include the reference and the appropriate categories: Category:Eagle Scouts or Category:Distinguished Eagle Scouts

Sources

*Lists of Eagle Scouts abound on the web: many are inaccurate. Do not use these as citations or a test of notability unless the entry can be independently confirmed.

Lists from Boy Scouts of America are considered primary sources:
- "Distinguished Eagle Scout Award". Boy Scouts of America. http://www.scouting.org/Media/FactSheets/02-529.aspx.
- "Astronauts and the BSA". Fact sheet. Boy Scouts of America. http://www.scouting.org/factsheets/02-558.html.

To-do list for List of Eagle Scouts (Boy Scouts of America):

REQUIRED PAGE RENAME

This is NOT a "List of Eagle Scouts." By your very page and documentation standards, this is a list of NOTABLE Eagle Scouts.

This page needs to be renamed accordingly: "List of Notable Eagle Scouts"

Frankly, by any objective standard, it is astonishing that so much attention is given to the notability and veracity of the list, while nobody takes a moment to understand that the LIST ITSELF IS FATALLY AND INCORRECTLY TITLED in Wikipedia.

Potential entries requiring investigation

As entries on this list are verified or unverified, move them to investigated entries and note the reason. Also ensure that Category:Eagle Scouts and Category:Distinguished Eagle Scouts are properly added or removed from the article.

Eagle Scouts with problematic articles

Jon Fulkerson; notability issues, COI editing

To investigate

These men have articles and are probably Eagles:

I investigated these men, and they do not appear in NESA's Online Eagle Directory:

John Angus Campbell; did NOT appear in NESA Online Eagle Directory in Oregon
Tom Hucker; did NOT appear in NESA Online Eagle Directory
J. Willard Marriott; did NOT appear in the NESA Online Eagle Directory; It is unlikely that Bill was an Eagle since the LDS Church did not begin partnering with BSA until 1913 at which time he would already have been a teenager. His son J. W. Marriott, Jr is a DESA.
Danny Pintauro; needs reliable ref (imdb doesn't cut it); did NOT appear in NESA Online Eagle Directory 10/11/2011

These men are Eagles but I have not yet added them to the list:

Patrick T. Caffery; is an Eagle Scout (8/25/1950) in the NESA Online Eagle Directory ^[1]
Edwin G. Corr; is an Eagle Scout (4/24/1951) in the NESA Online Eagle Directory ^[2]
Randy Brush; American Jazz Drummer; is an Eagle Scout (3/22/1972) in the NESA Online Eagle Directory ^[3]
Mark Hass; State representative in Oregon; is an Eagle Scout (11/05/1971) in the NESA Online Eagle Directory ^[4]
Franklin Huddle; is an Eagle Scout (04/11/1956) in the NESA Online Eagle Directory ^[5]
Jim Jontz (deceased); is an Eagle Scout (06/12/1965) in the NESA Online Eagle Directory ^[6]
Dave Moody; is an Eagle Scout (04/19/1983) in the NESA Online Eagle Directory ^[7]

These persons are known Eagle Scouts who probably meet notability standards but do not have articles

Ronald Gene Evens; senior executive office of BJC HealthCare and former president of Barnes-Jewish Hospital.^[8]
John Hammergren; CEO of McKesson Corporation.^[9]
Capers W. McDonald; Executive in Residence, Johns Hopkins University; former President and CEO of BioReliance Corporation; established McDonald Award for Excellence in Mentoring and Advising.^[10]

John Goddard (needs article, that's a dab page)
T. Michael Goodrich; Silver Buffalo
John C. Jadel; Silver Buffalo
Joseph Patrick Hart ref
Hoan Dang [1]

[edit] Today's Featured List

Now that featured lists are on the main page on Mondays, I am going to propose this for August 21, 1912 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Eagle Scout Award. We need to fill out the following template and choose a representative image. This is a sample. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 11:20, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouting program division of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). Since it was first awarded in 1912, Eagle Scout has been earned by more than two million young men. The title of Eagle Scout is held for life, thus giving rise to the phrase "Once an Eagle, always an Eagle".

As of 2012, requirements include earning at least 21 merit badges, and demonstrating Scout Spirit, leadership and service and performing an Eagle Scout Service Project. Eagle Scouts are recognized with a medal and badge that visibly recognizes the accomplishments of the Scout. Eagle Palms are a further recognition, awarded for completing additional tenure, leadership and merit badge requirements. (more...)
