Note from the Chairman
For more than 100 years, the Boy Scouts of America has provided young people with the principles, ethics, self-confidence, and civic pride needed to be strong leaders. With the Eagle Scout rank being the pinnacle of that journey, it provides the best leadership training anyone can attain before the age of 18. The Gathering of Eagles reception celebrates this success with the mission: “To bring together Eagle Scouts of all ages living working in the Maryland area to reconnect with Scouting and celebrate their life accomplishments.” Come join us and celebrate your achievements.
