Couple the Scouts Highest Honor With Eagle Scout Challenge Coins

Since 1907, the Scouting system has existed throughout the world with the intention of supporting young people in their physical, mental and spiritual development, that they may play constructive roles in society. The program was brought to America in 1910 and has grown to the largest youth organization in the country since then. A progression system was put in place and in 1912, Arthur Eldred became the first ever Eagle Scout. The process of becoming an Eagle Scout is long and intensive. The young people who earn the honor deserve a portable signifier of their status.

Becoming an Eagle Scout

A lot of people think that progressing to the level of Eagle Scout is as simple as being a scout long enough to earn a collection of merit badges. But it’s actually far more complex than that. The process, as detailed by the Boy Scouts of America website, includes completing the work necessary for consideration, getting specific references, completing an application, review by a council and many other factors.

The basis of Scouting is earning merit badges, and while this isn’t the only requirement for earning the rank of Eagle Scout, it is an important element of the process. Candidates for Eagle Scout are required to have earned 21 merit badges, and amongst them, the following 13 are required:

Camping
Citizenship in the Community
Citizenship in the Nation
Citizenship in the World
Communication
Cooking
Lifesaving or Emergency Preparedness
Environmental Science or Sustainability
Family Life
First Aid
Personal Fitness
Personal Management
Swimming, Hiking or Cycling

All merit badges and most of the other requirements must be accomplished before the scout turns 18. Once confirmed as an Eagle Scout, the young person in question will receive a medal and special merit badge honoring the occasion. These rewards are stationary in certain ways. Merit badges are added to a sash, and medals are often left in a display case. The great thing about Eagle Scout challenge coins is that they’re are portable and intended to be carried at all times. No matter where an Eagle Scout goes, they can take their custom challenge coin with them.

Merit badges have long been the honor most closely associated with scouting. The different badges are distinguished in a number of ways. The images on them and the ring color of the edge of the badge detail what the badge is for and whether or not the badge is one of the Eagle Scout badges. Likewise, challenge coins provided by Signature Coins have a number of customization options to help distinguish them. One of our more popular options can be found in customizing the coin edge.

When you partner with Signature Coins, choose from the following six options for the edge of your custom challenge coins:
