Beaufort’s Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) Gov. Paul Hamilton Chapter participated in an Eagle Scout Court of Honor on Saturday, April 16 at John Paul II Catholic School in Okatie.
Eagle courts of honor are fully developed celebrations recognizing Scouts who have attained Scouting’s highest rank.
The Sons of the American Revolution often participate in the special ceremonies commensurate with the high honor being bestowed upon outstanding young men. By presenting “SAR Certificates of Recognition” at BSA Courts of Honor, the SAR recognizes the many common bonds of purpose and principals shared by the SAR and the Boy Scouts of America. Young men achieving the rank of Eagle Scout have demonstrated their belief in these common principals and are deserving of special recognition for their dedication and accomplishment.
Chairman of the chapter’s Eagle Scout Committee Col. Harold Mills, USAF Ret,, participated in the Court of Honor for six new Eagle Scouts from Beaufort County, Scouts represented Troops 101 and 200. The event was attended by many parents, siblings and grandparents in recognition of these young men and their Scout Leader Michael Brock who had been with them from 2013 to 2021.
Having been awarded their Eagle Patches and scarves, each scout gave special pins to a parent in appreciation of their enduring support. Col. Mills followed with SAR Certificates of Recognition and the Eagle Patch and notified them of their option to compete for several National SAR Eagle Scout Scholarships of up to $10,000. Beaufort County’s newest Eagle Scouts are Jacob Preston of Troop 101; and Jack Brock, Beau Cooper, Gordon Ivey, Clay Powell and David Shaw, all of Troop 200.
