When sending notes to people asking for letters of commendation, please include:
- The Scout's FULL NAME (not just "Sparky" or "Jimmy" but "Samuel James Jackson" or "James Ray Morrison")
- The Scout's TROOP NUMBER AND COUNCIL NAME (the Troop number is that white number on the red background on his left shoulder; the Council; the Council name appears on that patch right above it), and
- A SHORT DESCRIPTION of the Eagle Scout Service Project.
Many people writing a letter to acknowledge an Eagle Scout would also like to know how the person earned the badge. This gives them more than just a "congratulations, Johnny, on your achievement" line and also can allow the letter to be a bit more personalized than boilerplate letters.
In the tables below, incumbents who will be leaving office as a result of an election, resignation, or other reasons, are shown in RED, while "Acting", "Elect", or newly appointed (but, as yet unconfirmed or installed) officials are shown in GREEN.
