第一位鷹級童子軍亞瑟‧愛爾得瑞得 (Arthur R. Eldred)
1912
821

你是不是美國男童子軍或女童子軍的一份子呢?或者你是否曾經想知道童子軍是做什麼的呢?男童軍可能會希望有一天能夠得到鷹級童子軍的獎項,因為這是美國男童軍最高的階級。 

1912年的821日,來自紐約州海畔地區的亞瑟‧愛爾得瑞得成為美國贏得鷹級童子軍的第一位年輕人。這個以個人表現為評判標準的獎項,只頒給所有男童軍中表現最好的前4%。自從1911年起,已經有超過一百萬個男童軍晉陞到這個階級了,包括前總統傑洛‧福特,以及電影導演史蒂芬‧史匹柏等。你知道成為鷹級童子軍之前要先獲得多少表現優異的獎章嗎?


Are you a member of the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts of America, or have you ever wondered what they're all about? A Boy Scout might hope to someday achieve the award of Eagle Scout, the highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America.

On August 21, 1912, Arthur R. Eldred of Oceanside, New York, became the first young man in America to earn the Eagle Scout award. This performance-based award goes to only about four percent of all Boy Scouts. More than one million Boy Scouts have now earned the rank since 1911, including former President Gerald Ford and film director Steven Spielberg. Do you know how many merit awards it takes to become an Eagle Scout?
