Notable Eagle Scouts are Eagle Scouts who have attained a high degree of notability in society as an adult. Since it was first awarded in 1912, Eagle Scout has been earned by more than one and a half million young men. The Distinguished Eagle Scout Award (DESA), is a special award, awarded only to Eagle Scouts, for distinguished service in his profession and to the community for a period of at least twenty-five years after earning the Eagle Scout rank. Since its introduction in 1969 by the National Eagle Scout Association, the DESA has been awarded to just under 2000 Eagle Scouts.
