denver4und@aol.com 10 Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Hi. I assume you know that they sell preprinted invitations (with good artwork and blank insides) at most scout shops and from national? They come in several designs, some with the eagle badge as the artwork. On the inside (which can be done on home printer or by commercial printer like Kinko's) I've had recent eagles print: "Invitation Boy's Name Eagle Scout Court of Honor date time location refreshments and light buffet following ceremony" Sometimes, an invitation will mention a special guest or presenter. good luck and congrats, jim Link to post Share on other sites
