“It is a great privilege to be honored as a community leader by the Boy Scouts of America,” Sheriff Staly said. “To be recognized as a leader and be among the local leaders previously recognized is very humbling. Thank you to the Central Florida Council Boy Scouts of America for this great honor.”

Just to clarify the article, this “Golden Eagle” award is a local civic award given to non-scouts. It is NOT equivalent to the Eagle Scout Rank which is earned by a scout who has displayed knowledge of the required scout skills and demonstrated leadership and maturity by ever increasing responsibilities within his or her troop. The patch, medal and ribbon representing the Eagle Scout Rank are not handed out to anyone who is not an active scout and completed all requirements for the rank (except the final Board of Review) prior to their 18th birthday. To be clear, Mr. Staley is NOT an Eagle Scout.
