National Eagle Scout Association
NESA is young men searching for dynamic and challenging leadership roles. NESA is older Eagle Scouts who desire using their efforts and influence toward forming the kind of young men America needs for leadership. The objective of NESA is to serve—to serve Eagle Scouts and through them, the entire movement of Scouting.
National Outstanding Eagle Scout Award
In 2011 the National Eagle Scout Association created the National Outstanding Eagle Scout Award as a way to recognize adult Eagle Scouts who have demonstrated outstanding achievement at the local, state, or regional level. This can include exemplary volunteer service to Scouting and/or in the community, achievement in their professional field, distinguished military service, or other accomplishments over an extended period of time. The nominee must currently live within the boundaries of the council but does not have to have earned his Eagle Scout Award as a member of our council.
To nominate an Eagle Scout for this prestigious award, please see the NOESA Nomination Instructions

Each year we awarded 1 or more Cradle of Liberty Eagle Scout Scholarships to Eagle Scouts who were selected as the most deserving.
We know how much of a difference this scholarship can make in a young person’s life as they work to further their studies. We believe that there are many Eagle Scouts who could also use some financial assistance to help them pursue their studies in college or technical school.
We hope that you will help us to support these deserving young men and women.
Thanks so much for your support, and all that you do for Scouting!
