Christmas Court of Honor

Tonight we celebrate achievements that reflect hard work, dedication, and the Scout Oath and Law. To every Scout recognized tonight, congratulations. Whether you advanced in rank, earned a merit badge, or reached Eagle, you have reached a milestone.

These awards are not only about what you have done. They are about who you are becoming. With every rank and badge you take on new responsibility to be a role model and a servant leader. The world needs people who are trustworthy, loyal, and committed to making a difference. To our newest Eagle Scout, that title now calls you to lead by example and serve with humility. And to every Scout in this room, your journey continues. The skills you learn and the values you live will guide you in everything you do.

This week, during the holidays, use one skill you have earned to help someone in your family or neighborhood. Congratulations again, and keep soaring higher!
