Hi. I assume you know that they sell preprinted invitations (with good artwork and blank insides) at most scout shops and from national? They come in several designs, some with the eagle badge as the artwork.

 

On the inside (which can be done on home printer or by commercial printer like Kinko's) I've had recent eagles print:

 

"Invitation

Boy's Name

Eagle Scout Court of Honor

 

date

time

location

 

refreshments and light buffet following ceremony"

 

Sometimes, an invitation will mention a special guest or presenter.

 

good luck and congrats, jim
