Scout Leader & Eagle Scout Hats

Scouting America, the organization that rebranded from the Boy Scouts of America in 2024, reports more than 2.8 million Eagle Scouts since 1912. Only about 5 percent of Scouts reach the rank, and it takes 21 merit badges to earn it. Behind every troop stand adult volunteers, 477,000 of them by the same annual report, and newly minted Eagles often give their Scoutmaster a thank-you gift. That makes this page a gift page for two buyers: the Eagle and the leader. These Eagle Scout and scout leader hats open with three plain badges, EAGLE SCOUT, SCOUTMASTER and DEN LEADER. Scoutmaster is the Scouts BSA role for older youth and den leader is the Cub Scouts role, so each keeps its own hat and the two are never mixed. The sentence designs speak for the volunteer. One writer in the Christian Science Monitor described ranking as the unlikeliest den leader of all, with a hand that did not shoot up when the den master asked for volunteers; I VOLUNTEERED FOR ONE MEETING is that story on a hat. Others carry the fire that is a teaching moment, eight kids and one glue gun, a Scout Law that ends with no s'mores left, and SCOUTING IS INTENTS, a tent pun already printed on Scoutmaster tees. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Choose one for the court of honor or for the leader who only meant to stay one meeting.
