Eagle Scout Ribbon
This is an organization ribbon. It is primarily purchased and worn by members of the Eagle Scout Club. To qualify for the ribbon, individuals must either have been Eagle Scouts or Girl Scouts prior to matriculation at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
According to Scouting records, of the 279 midshipmen in the Class of 2020, 58 are Scouts and of those, 34 are Eagle Scouts – making up 20.8% and 12.2% of the total student body, respectively. Taking into consideration that the Class Profile is 19.7% female, the numbers are skewed to 25.9% and 15.2% of all male midshipmen. If the statistics hold for each class, there are 130 Eagle Scouts within the ranks of Kings Pointers. However, any given year, there are 14-15 midshipmen in the Eagle Scout Club.
Statistics on Girl Scouts is not known.
Worn by midshipmen who have earned the rank of Eagle Scout while a member of the Boy Scouts of America. (Red stripe is worn inboard). Medal shall only be worn during scout functions. (USMMA MIDSHIPMAN UNIFORM REGULATIONS, 11 August 2017)
