  1. True or False? • In the 1920’s, with the annual number of new Eagle Scouts pushing past 3,000, officials considered the idea of creating another rank beyond Eagle.

  2. TRUE – Fortunately, tradition prevailed, and the Eagle Scout Award retained its position of prominence… • although with a new set of requirements. These requirements, which appeared in the Handbook for Boys in 1927, added a service component to the Star, Life, and Eagle ranks. • That 1927 Handbook for Boys also introduced the concept of Eagle Scout Palms – a compromise gesture to those who wanted to create a rank beyond Eagle.
