My son George was awarded his Eagle Badge at his Eagle Scout Court of Honor on March 17,2012. As George's big day approached, I searched the web for ideas on how to to conduct the ceremony and party. The most helpful information I found was from a blog written by another Eagle Scout mom. I'm honored to share pictures and stories from George's Eagle Scout COH in hopes that another future Eagle Scout family might benefit from our experience.

We went with a patriotic theme which is typical for a Boy Scout function. The tablecloths and balloon weights came from Dollar Tree. We also printed some Eagle Scout badges and attached them to the balloon weights. Some Eagle Badge white balloons were given to us by a family whose son had made Eagle a few years ago.

George spent a lot of time and thought arranging his Scout memorablia to display at his Court of Honor. The flag is from Jamboree 2010.

A few of George's certificates and a newspaper clipping from 1996 when our family went corn gleaning in Belle Glade. It's hard to see it in the picture but George is in a basket used to collect the corn. My husband is holding the basket.

My sister,nephew, and myself finished frosting about 6 dozen cupcakes for the celebration. We brought the baked cupcakes to the church and frosted them a few hours before the COH. It was easier to transport un-frosted cupcakes.

Our sweet grand daughter Victoria helps set up.

Since this is already long, I will put more pictures in another post.   Thank you for visiting!
