"I'm deeply honored to receive the Outstanding Eagle Scout Award," said GC President W. Myles Shelton, Ed.D. "Scouting has been a meaningful part of my life, and my family's, for as long as I can remember. It has been a privilege to give back to the Boy Scouts of America, an organization that helps instill strong values in young people. I'm grateful to be part of a community that truly believes in service and leadership."
