Eagle Honor Guard

The Eagle Honor Guard has three escort duties.

1. Escort the Eagle Candidate to the stage.

   Cue:	After all six scouts are on stage, "Will the Honor Guard escort ___________ to his place in the light of their spirit."

   Both guards escort the Eagle Candidate to the stage. One guard precedes the Eagle Candidate and the other guard follows. Both guards return to the back of the auditorium for their next duty.

2. Escort the Eagle Candidates parents to the stage.

   Cue:	Several minutes later, "Will the Honor Guard escort ______________________ to stand with their son."

   Both guards escort the Eagle Candidates parents to the stage. One guard precedes the parents and the other guard follows. Both guards return to the back of the auditorium for their next duty.

3. Escort the Badge Presenter to the stage.

   Cue:	Moments later, "Will the Honor Guard now escort ___________ to the stage."

   Both guards escort the Badge Presenter to the stage. One guard precedes the Badge Presenter and the other guard follows, brings the award, and stands to the rear of the Badge Presenter until the conclusion of the ceremonies. The other guard remains on the stage too.
