Sons of the American Revolution - Sacramento Chapter

The Sacramento Chapter recognizes Eagle Scouts through "SAR Certificates of Recognition" at BSA Courts of Honor and also participates in the CASSAR and the NSSAR Eagle Scout Scholarship Program.

Open to all Eagle Scouts who are currently registered in an active unit and have not reached their 19th birthday during the year of application.

Congratulations!
Through your dedicated personal efforts, with assistance from your family, adult leaders, and fellow Scouts, you have earned Scouting’s highest award, the Eagle Scout award. You have persevered and successfully completed the extensive requirements–including the important leadership, citizenship, and community service projects. Only those young men who have a great amount of persistence and courage are able to gain the coveted rank of Eagle Scout. You can be very proud of your accomplishment. The Eagle Scout award is an honor. Be proud of it and what it represents. Use it as your guide and inspiration to reach other goals.

Members of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR), who trace their ancestry to American Revolutionary War patriots, share with scouting these same ideals which are essential to the preservation and maintenance of a strong America. We are privileged to present you a Certificate of Recognition for your accomplishment.
