karl65 10 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I am an Eagle Scout from 25 years ago. Now my nephew is receiving his Eagle and has asked me to MC his CoH. I wanted to know if it is acceptable to wear my Eagle medal with my suit and tie during the CoH? Link to post Share on other sites
Gold Winger 9 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Sure. Why not? Link to post Share on other sites
MissingArrow 12 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 It is very common to see Eagle Scouts who are not currently involved in Scouting wear their Eagle Medal with "civilian" clothes for Eagle Court of Honors. Link to post Share on other sites
scoutldr 732 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Absolutely! Congrats to your nephew! Link to post Share on other sites
ljnrsu 10 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Definitely wear your medal. Congratulations to your nephew. Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle92 110 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I may get some flack here, but her it goes; why not wear a pair of grey trousers, white shirt, blue blazer and some type of patriotic tie with your Eagle medal. FYI the Professional uniform, aka dress uniform, is the above except you wear one of the professional ties,i.e. "barber stripe," CSEWC tie, the current 'power tie" etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Gold Winger 9 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 FYI, the dress uniform also includes a BSA emblem on the breast pocket. Link to post Share on other sites
Beavah 205 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Yah, perfectly acceptable karl65. The custom is very much what MissingArrow describes. Wear your medal with pride, and congrats to your nephew, eh! Link to post Share on other sites
GKlose 24 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I have no idea if this is common or not, but our troop recently held an Eagle CoH and towards the end of the ceremony, when the new Eagle Scout took his oath, he was joined on stage by every other Eagle Scout present, and they took the oath together. One adult was wearing his medal with a blazer. Link to post Share on other sites
Gold Winger 9 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I think that is common at Eagle Courts or some variation. All of the Eagle Courts that I've been to have had all the Eagles stand and do the oath. Link to post Share on other sites
