NESA Eagle Scout Search Nears Conclusion!

The Eagle Scout court of honor is undoubtedly the proudest moment of a young Scout's life. Years of learning, teaching, and hard work culminate in this special honor that only the most determined Boy Scouts obtain. This is one reason why the National Eagle Scout Association has launched a national Eagle Scout search program.

"We want to find and contact every living Eagle Scout and register his achievements, past and present," said NESA Director Bill Steele. "This effort will culminate in Roll Call: The National Eagle Scout Registry--a publication that will capture the tradition, history, and honor of our nation's Eagle Scouts and will be available only to bona fide Eagles." Steele added that only Eagle Scouts who agree to be listed and who are adults will be included in the directory.

Throughout 2008, Harris Connect Inc. of Chesapeake, Virginia, has been searching for all living Eagle Scouts on behalf of the National Eagle Scout Association. The search aims to update these Eagles' contact information and invite them to be included in the soon-to-be-published NESA directory, which will enable them to find each other. With this contact information, local councils also will be able to invite Eagle Scouts living within their councils to special events.

If an Eagle Scout does not receive correspondence to be included in this project, he can call (toll-free) 1-866-753-3506 to submit his information.
