  World Scouting salutes Neil Armstrong

World Scouting has been greatly saddened to learn of the passing away of
Neil Armstrong, considered to be one of the United States' most famous
Eagle Scouts. Mr. Armstrong will always be remembered for his role as Crew
Commander of the successful Apollo 11 moon landing mission of 1969 and the
first man to stand on the surface of the moon.

Amongst the treasured items that Neil Armstrong carried with him to the
moon and back was a World Scout Badge. The citation, printed on NASA
letterhead paper and personally signed, reads, "I certify that this World
Scout Badge was carried to the moon on man's first lunar landing, Apollo
XI, July 20, 1969."

Paying tribute to one of his heroes, Luc Panissod, Secretary General, said,
"I pass this unique memento on my way into my office each day. It reminds
me how real achievement is very often the result of a truly great team
effort. As one might expect of an Eagle Scout, Neil Armstrong was always
modest about his personal leadership role on that famous mission and the
first to acknowledge the scores of people who contributed in so many ways
to making it happen. He will always be an inspiration to ourselves and
future generations of Scouts worldwide."
