Distinguished Eagle Scout Award Wikipedia image
Boy Scouts of America (BSA) invited Mike Rowe to the 2012 Annual National Meeting. They asked him to speak, but surprised him with a Distinguished Eagle Scout award.
Listen to his praise for the value of Scouting, for and from Scouts who don’t make Eagle (it’s at least ten minutes in, but this is entertaining). Rowe has two brothers, neither of whom earned Eagle; his story involves the exploits of his younger brother, who was a Scout, and achieved the rank of Star.
It really is a Star Scout story.
