The Society joined the Colonel John Eager Howard Chapter of the Maryland Society of the Sons of the American Revolution on Sunday, May 31, 2026, at the Eagle Scout Court of Honor for Ava Marie Shannon of Troop 746, where Society President William Emmerich presented her with the Society’s certificate of recognition.

The Eagle Scout certificate is one of the Society’s standing programs. Reaching the rank takes years: twenty-one merit badges, a run of positions of responsibility, and a service project the Scout plans, finds the money and the hands for, and sees through. A Court of Honor is where the troop, the family, and the community say so out loud, and the Society is glad to stand up at it.

Her name joins the Society’s Eagle Scout roll, which is kept on the Programs pages along with the photographs the Society is sent.

It is our privilege to go on supporting these young people.
