Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouting program of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). A Scout who attains this rank is called an Eagle Scout or Eagle. Since its introduction in 1911, the Eagle Scout rank has been earned by more than two million young men.
Requirements include earning at least 21 merit badges and demonstrating Scout Spirit through the Boy Scout Oath and Law, service, and leadership. This includes an extensive service project that the Scout plans, organizes, leads, and manages. Eagle Scouts are presented with a medal and a badge that visibly recognizes the accomplishments of the Scout. Additional recognition can be earned through Eagle Palms, awarded for completing additional tenure, leadership, and merit badge requirements.
On February 1, 2014, Dallin received the Eagle Scout award. As part of the award ceremony, Dallin pinned his mother, father and mentor Rob Hamill. His mother pinned him with the prestigious Eagle Scout award.
Seen here, Steve Garrett shares stories about both Alex and Dallin in their scout adventures:

Mr. Littlefield also spoke on the importance of scouting in his life and how important it will be to Dallin and Alex:
