The Green Mountain Council Eagle Scout Recognition Day was created to honor Vermont youth who have reached the pinnacle of Scouting's programs. 46 Scouts attained the rank of Eagle in 2025.

While the focus is primarily on the youth themselves, it is also an opportunity to engage adult Eagle Scouts and Alumni.

The event brings together generations of Scouting alumni and friends and gives them the opportunity to give back to the program.

Proceeds from the event help to cover the cost of each new Eagle Scout’s lunch, regalia, services for alumni, and the Scouting programs provided by the Green Mountain Council.
