When a Scout from North Carolina found, among his grandmother's possessions, an old Eagle Scout medal and six Eagle Palms, his reaction was instant.

"I wish we could return it to its owner," he told his mom.

Hayden Stanley is a First Class Scout in Troop 334 of Raleigh, N.C. As someone on the trail to Eagle himself, he knows how much work goes into earning the program's highestrank.

Hayden knew the medal didn't belong to anyone in his family. And his grandmother died two years ago, so Hayden and his parents aren't able to ask her how she came in possessionof the Scouting artifact.

"I can only speculate," says Hayden's dad, Dwight. "In retirement, my parents would often go to auctions in Fayetteville, N.C., and many times they would bring home boxes ofrandom stuff auctioned off as a lot."
