Orders of Chivalry, Merit, and Honour

[EagleJCS]

Although not an order in the traditional sense of the word, it is, as Ian has pointed out, an honour that is earned. It would be my opinion that it would be absolutely proper to wear a miniature version of the Eagle Scout medal on civilian Highland attire after 6pm (full size insignia is never worn after 6PM with civilian attire).

It would properly be worn immediately after all Federal or State decorations and medals, and ahead of any other orders, decorations, medals, or badges of membership.

Unfortunately, there is no miniature. We only have the full-sized medal.

The full-size Eagle medal is typically not worn with civilian attire, except when attending an Eagle Scout Court of Honor (award ceremony). Then, it is worn just above the pocket of the suit jacket. (Per the Insignia Guide, adults wear the medal only on formal Eagle occasions).

There was some discussion a few years ago of developing a miniature, and there was a rumor through the National Eagle Scout Association (NESA) that there would indeed be one, but it has not come to fruition as yet.

For now, in order to display one's status as an Eagle Scout outside a "formal Eagle occasion", there is either a tie tac or a lapel pin (or both if you so choose). There is also a NESA lapel pin for NESA members, silver for tenured membership and gold for lifetime membership.
