第一位鹰级童子军亚瑟．爱尔得瑞得 (Arthur
R. Eldred)
1912年8月21日
你必须要拿到21个表现优异的奖章才能成为鹰级童子军，其中有12种奖章是一定要拿到的，例如急救与世界公民奖章 (First
Aid and Citizenship of the World) 等。英国中将罗伯特．拜登包尔 (Robert
Baden-Powell) 写的「男童子军的活动」 (Scouting
for Boys) 在1908年出版之后，男童军的运动开始蔚为风潮。拜登包尔建议应该把时下男孩团体转变成为童子军团。当时美国人正好十分喜欢户外休闲活动，并认为那是发展人格特质的一种方法。
美国男童子军在威廉．豪沃．塔夫特 (William
Howard Taft) 总统愿意担任荣誉团长的支持下，于1910年正式成立。到了1912年，每一州都拥有自己的童子军团。西元1916年，美国政府正式同意让童子军能够穿着类似美国军人的制服。
It takes 21 merit awards to become an Eagle Scout, and 12 of those awards are required, such as First Aid and Citizenship of the World. The Boy Scout movement began with the 1908 publication of Scouting for Boys by British Lieutenant General Robert Baden-Powell. He suggested turning existing boys' groups into scout patrols. Americans at that time had a popular fascination with outdoor recreation as a means of developing a person's character.
The Boy Scouts of America was founded in 1910 with President William Howard Taft as honorary president. By 1912, every state could claim a band of troops. In 1916, the government granted Scouts the right to wear a uniform similar to a U.S. armed services uniform.
