Before anything else, I want to thank the US Scouting Service Project and their “Eagle, Summit, Quartermaster, and Gold Congratulation Letters” page. It provided an invaluable foundation and a starting point for building this resource. Their page remains a great reference, but it has not been updated since early 2024, and contact information, especially for elected officials and government offices, can change quickly. I felt an updated, actively maintained resource would be helpful for families and Scouts navigating this process today.
I also identified several additional individuals and organizations worth contacting that were not included on the USSSP list, which inspired me to create this site.
You may choose to send either a personalized letter or a form letter when requesting recognition. Examples can be found online, and AI tools can help you craft messages that are easy to customize for each recipient.
The people and organizations listed here fall into one of three categories:
• I have personally received a response from them,
• I have seen verified reports from others who received a response, or
• The organization or person’s mission and history strongly suggest they are likely to send recognition.
Even so, patience is important. Some responses may take weeks or even months to arrive. Contact information can change, and organizations that previously responded may pause or discontinue sending letters. Email deliver ability can also vary, some providers may flag messages as spam, so using an alternate email address may help if you receive a bounce back.
If you have verified contacts or successful experiences that could help others, please reach out using the form below. I’m always happy to add reliable new information to this page.
