source: deseretnews.com February 02, 2010

This year's Stadium of Fire will have more than 100 special guests, all under the age of 18.

In honor of the Boy Scouts of America's 100th anniversary, America's Freedom Festival at Provo and Stadium of Fire will host a Centennial Eagle Court of Honor during its July 4 festivities.

"We're trying to make this the largest Eagle Court of Honor in Boy Scouts of America history," said Emory Cook, a festival spokesman. "We want as many Scouts as we can get."

Only 4 percent of Boy Scouts, or 2 million total, have received their Eagle award, the last of 11 ranks in the Scouting system.
