COURT ADMISSIONS
HONORS AND AWARDS
VOLUNTEER & COMMUNITY SERVICE
David achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest achievement or rank attainable in the Boy Scouting program of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). The designation "Eagle Scout" has a long history since its founding over one hundred years ago. Only a small percentage of Boy Scouts are granted this rank after a lengthy review process. The requirements necessary to achieve this rank take years to fulfill and involve hundreds of hours of community service in total. Eagle candidates are required to demonstrate responsible citizenship, character, self-reliance, leadership, and community service, culminating in the completion of the Eagle Scout Service Project, which requires an Eagle Scout candidate to plan, develop, lead and complete a significant project for the benefit of the community. Eagle Scout Service Projects contribute more than three million hours of volunteer community service each year, and have contributed more than 100 million hours of service in total. Since the inception of the Eagle Scout award in 1912, only 2.01 percent of eligible Scouts have earned Scouting’s highest honor, including nine Medal of Honor recipients, at least forty astronauts including Neil Armstrong and Charles Duke who walked on the moon, the 38th President of the United States Gerald R. Ford, the 22nd U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, the 13th and 21st U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court Stephen Breyer.
