Was Obama an eagle scout?
Yes. A number of changes in the new White House administration caused delays in changing from the Bush to the Obama signature- this was resolved and the presidential signature is now on the certificates. An email had been circulating that President Obama had refused to sign Eagle Scout and lifesaving certificates. This is not true and the President of the United States has never signed lifesaving certificates.[see link]
Did President Obama refuse to sign certificates for Eagel ScoutsSnopescom?
No, he has never refused. This is another anti-Obama myth that has circulated on the internet, but there is no truth to it. The President of the US is the honorary President of he BSA and his signature appears on Eagle certificates along with the signatures of the National President of the BSA, he BSA's National Commissioner and the BSA's Chief Scout Executive. In recent years about 50,000 Eagle Awards have been earned annually so it is understandable that the certificates are pre-printed with the signatures, not hand signed. Scouts earning Eagle get the certificates signed by the current or last president until supplies are depleted and then certificates signed by the new President as they are printed and become available. So depending on the exact time of the award and available supplies of the certificates a Scout may get one signed by the current President, the recently departed President, or one with the Presidential signature line left blank. The latter occurs when there is a lapse in the availability of certificates with presidential signatures (the old ones run out before the new ones come in). This is done in order to not delay the awarding of the certificate. If a Scout is issued a non-signed certificate but would like one that is signed they can get one, at no charge, by contacting their local Scout Council.
