Why We Shouldn’t Take Our Freedoms for Granted: Introducing ‘The Last Eagle Scout’
by Kels GoodmanI would like to introduce my new film, “The Last Eagle Scout,” a social satire independent film produced in Utah, focusing on how political correctness can interrupt the very fiber of Americana.
Cliff Elliot is close to getting his Eagle Scout award, a promise he made to his late father. His eagle project includes having a flagpole erected at the local Petty County High School. He paid for the project by having flags posted in neighbors’ yards for a year on patriotic holidays.

By the end of that year, the Boy Scouts of America had closed its doors due to bad press from an accidental death at a scout camp. The American Flag has also been banned from public viewing.
The Citizens Taskforce, represented by local congressman Jude Marx (who was paramount in getting the scouts closed and the flag banned), search for Cliff in an effort to stop the flag postings. Instead, Cliff skirts around the “pretend police” in an effort to finish his eagle project and become the last boy in America to become an Eagle Scout… all while striving to live the scout law.
