Wonderful Resource,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Eagle Court of Honor Book (Paperback)
This book is a great resource for those who are new to planning Eagle Court of Honors, or for those who want to add something a little different than the rote items they normally do. I purchased copies for myself, our scoutmaster, and our advancement chairperson. When the scoutmaster of a neighboring troop needed help with her son's eagle ceremony, I gladly gave her my copy, knowing it was a wonderfull resource. (I then purchased another copy for myself!) I believe THAT speaks for the quality and usefullness of this book.

Help Your Eagle Soar,
By Isabel Frey (Merrick, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Eagle Court of Honor Book (Paperback)
Lots of great ideas. With several recent Eagle Courts of Honor in our troop, this book helped my son design a ceremony that was unique and meaningful. The opening ceremony (an explanation of scouting by John Wayne) and the Eagle presentation ceremony both came from the book. A wonderful quotation from Theodore Roosevelt, which he found in the "quotes" chapter, was used on the opening page of the program. I found the "things to do" checklist especially helpful. "The Eagle Court of Honor Book" is an invaluable tool for any scout troop, with lots of practical ideas that can be incorporated into a variety of ceremonies, from the most simple to the most grand. I highly recommend it.

A survival guide for Eagles and their parents,
By
This review is from: The Eagle Court of Honor Book (Paperback)
An Eagle Court of Honor has many parallels to a wedding, with the exception that the BSA does not allow the option of elopement. My own son would have preferred to have done it through the mail ! Actually, the ceremony is a reaffirmation of Scouting and the very basic values it represents. Ray's book does a real service of sorting out fact from fiction, and provides ideas for a range of ceremonies that range from basic to elaborate. Some of the material is original, some is available on the web. For something like $ 10.00, you can save a ton of time and frustration. If I had another son, I would rather do without the internet and have a copy of this book !
