On August 21, 1912 Arthur R. Eldred of New York became the first Scout to earn the rank of Eagle. A century later, the National Eagle Scout Association (NESA) has high-flying plans to celebrate 100 years of Eagle Scouts. One of the ways is for all scouts who earn the Eagle award during 2012 will have the option to receive a special commemorative rank patch. See the attachement for a look at the patch.
