Milestone
5.0.7.0. The Spirit of the Eagle Award
Required
A separate recognition created by Scouting America for registered youth members who have lost their lives. It runs independently of anything on the other branch.
Notes and warnings
Note. It is worth reading topic 5.0.7.0 in full before speaking to a family about this award, because the Guide's own framing, a final salute and tribute in celebration of a life, is better than anything a leader will improvise.
