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 to Arthur Rose Eldred on August 21, 1912, Eagle Scout has been earned by more than two million young men. The list below includes notable recipients.

As of 2014, requirements include earning at least 21 merit badges and demonstrating Scout Spirit, leadership, and service. The requirements include an Eagle Scout Service Project where the Scout must further demonstrate service and leadership. Eagle Scouts are recognized with a medal and a cloth 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. Typically adult volunteers who have received the Eagle award as a youth wear a smaller patch depicting a square knot.

The Distinguished Eagle Scout Award (DESA) is bestowed to Eagle Scouts for nationally renowned distinguished service in their profession and to the community for a period of at least 25 years after earning the Eagle Scout rank. Since its introduction in 1969 by the National Eagle Scout Association, the DESA has been awarded to just under 2000 Eagle Scouts.Template:DESA

The NESA Outstanding Eagle Scout Award (NOESA) is bestowed to Eagle Scouts who have distinguished themselves at a local-to-regional level or who have not yet met the 25-year tenure requirement to be considered for a DESA. This award was introduced in 2011.

Incorrectly regarded as an Eagle Scout

These persons, while notable in themselves, are sometimes incorrectly listed as having earned the award:

• Henry "Hank" Aaron; retired baseball player and member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. He is a recipient of the Silver Buffalo Award. He is often thought to be an Eagle Scout because of an advertisement he did for the BSA.
• Walter Cronkite; anchorman, journalist and commentator.
• Henry Fonda; actor and Academy Award winner who was a Scout and Scoutmaster. Incorrectly noted as an Eagle Scout by his daughter.
• Harrison Ford; Life Scout and actor who played Indiana Jones, a fictional Life Scout in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. This part was played by River Phoenix in the film, as a younger Indiana Jones.
• Bill Gates; Life Scout and co-founder of Microsoft. He is sometimes confused with his father, William H. Gates, Sr. who is a Distinguished Eagle Scout.
• Jimmy Stewart; Second Class Scout, actor, major general, recipient of the Silver Buffalo Award and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He is often thought to be an Eagle Scout because of an advertisement he did for the BSA.
