The Eden Prairie Foundation is proud to recognize the young men and women who achieve the highest honor in scouting. When an Eden Prairie resident receives the Boy Scouts’ Eagle Scout Award or the Girl Scouts’ Gold Award, a $100 donation is made by the Foundation to the scout’s favorite charity. A board member attends the award ceremony and hands out the donation in recognition of this rare achievement.

Applications for the $100 honorarium are available here for Eagle Scouts and Gold Award Scouts.

Here is a list of recent recipients and the charities they supported:
