This year, a century after Arthur R. Eldred received the first Eagle Scout badge, we celebrated the impact more than 2 million Eagle Scouts have had on America and the world. New Eagle Scouts received commemorative patches, while older Eagle Scouts gathered at gala dinners to reminisce and rekindle their connections to Scouting. In Rockville Centre, New York, more than 2,000 people joined a parade that ended, most appropriately, at Arthur R. Eldred Memorial Park. Among them were 10 members of the Eldred family, which now includes four generations of Eagle Scouts. First recipient Arthur R.

10 Boy Scouts of America 2012 Annual Report 11 New National President Wayne Perry New BSA President Wayne Perry began his adult Scouting service when his wife, Christine, signed him up to be Cubmaster of Pack 601 in Bellevue, Washington. Since then, he has served as Scoutmaster, as Exploring Advisor, and in many positions on the district, council, regional, national, and international levels. A longtime youth baseball coach (and part-owner of the Seattle Mariners), Perry knows firsthand the excitement of sports. But he knows something else. “Scouting offers things for kids who will not join athletics, and it’s great for kids who are the star quarterbacks of their high school teams. There’s virtually no kid in the United States who wouldn’t benefit from our program—the leadership skills they get, the values that are taught, the physical skills, first aid, how to tie a one- handed bowline. Those are skills that stay with you forever.”
