Barb,
Congrats! It is a special day for both your son and his parents. My oldest son had his ceremony with the Boy Scout Troop and the Boy Scout Venture Crew Troop, he was in. The Crew honored him with a Native American Grand entry dressed in their regalia. Also one of the Native American's in the group, Gave him a Feather from the Crew and one of the other Drummers who does ceremonies for the BSA Council here told a story. The BSA Troop Scout Master presented his Eagle pin during the Court of Honor ceremony with the parents. The troop has a catered dinner when there is an Eagle Ceremony. Where the boy's who are recieving their Eagle get to pick the menu.
The family's part was providing the desert part of the dinner after the ceremony. We bought 2 sheet cakes - one had an Eagle on the top and the other one had the Boy Scout Emblem on the top. Our son also gave out some small appreciation gifts to those who helped him through out the years to achieve his Eagle Rank. This was done towards the end of the ceremony. Before the cake, nuts, mints and punch.
Almost forgot the catered dinner was paid for by those eating and the family paid for any extra guests they invited if needed.
Hope this helps you with some ideas.
Again Congrats to you and his dad.
Vicky
