When sending notes to people asking for letters of commendation, please include:

• Your son's FULL NAME (not just "Sparky" or "Jimmy" but "Samuel James Jackson" or "James Ray Morrison")
• Your son's TROOP NUMBER AND COUNCIL NAME (the Troop number is that white number on the red background on his left shoulder; the Council; the Council name appears on that patch right above it), and
• A SHORT DESCRIPTION of the Eagle Scout Service Project.

Many people writing a letter to acknowledge an Eagle Scout would also like to know how the person earned the badge. This gives them more than just a "congratulations, Johnny, on your achievement" line and also can allow the letter to be a bit more personalized than boilerplate letters.
