The First Eagle Scout
On Aug. 21, 1912, Arthur Eldred received notice that he would become the first Eagle Scout in history. Unfortunately, the Eagle medal hadn’t been designed yet. The New York Scout didn’t receive his medal until Labor Day, Sept. 2.
In 1944, Arthur was present at the Eagle ceremony of his son, Willard.
