  Distinguished Eagle Scout Award - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Distinguished Eagle Scout Award, 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 25 years after earning his Eagle Scout rank.
First introduced in 1969 and awarded by the National Eagle Scout Association, the award consists of a gold eagle medallion, identical to the silver medallion on the Eagle Scout medal, but is suspended off of a red, white, and blue neck ribbon as opposed to the scroll pin and ribbon suspension on the regular medal.
This award is similar to the Presidential Medal of Freedom with Distinction, and when worn for Eagle Scout-related ceremonies, the Distinguished Eagle Scout medal is worn in place of the regular Eagle Scout medal.
