Commendation Letters for Eagle Scouts

It is normal to ask people of importance, celebrities and other individuals in the community to write letters of commendation to a new Eagle Scout. A formal approach is often used. The most common format is as follows: In the first paragraph you should Introduce yourself and the Eagle Scout mentioning the name of the community and the unit name. Next, ask that he send a letter of greeting along with any other items you would like to have presented during the ceremony and outline the dates for the Court of Honor or other presentation. Explain the type of letter you'd like to have sent, provide the Eagle Scout's name with the address to send it, explain how the letters of recognition will be presented and compiled. Following that, provide the address of the chartered partner organization, your address, or the address of the committee chair. Close with a thank you and a few words of appreciation. Sign your name, your scouting position and your unit's number/name.
