The Distinguished Eagle Scout Award was established in 1969 to acknowledge Eagle Scouts who have received extraordinary national-level recognition, fame, or eminence within their field, and have a strong record of voluntary service to their community. Only Eagle Scouts who earned the Eagle Scout rank a minimum of 25 years previously are eligible for nomination. The award is given by the National Eagle Scout Association upon the recommendation of a committee of Distinguished Eagle Scouts.
Mike is joined by his parents John & Peggy, his brother Scott, from the Baltimore Area Council Board Barry Williams who presented Mike his Troop Charter and Ethan Draddy also from the Baltimore Area Council.
Congratulations Mike!

Congratulations Mike1 You are a worthy role model for young men. Keep up the good work.
Hi Mike, I just started watching DJ, then googled you and was so impressed that you won this award. It really hit home with me because my son and I just returned from Romania where he delivered rocking chairs to Romanian orphanages for his Eagle Project. The Boy Scouts are just such an amazing organization. My son will get his Eagle award this fall. Looking forward to wataching many more of your shows! Jill in Dallas
