The National Eagle Scout Association recognizes Eagle Scouts with awards for leadership, service, and distinctive professional accomplishments, such as the Adam’s Eagle Project of the Year, the NESA Outstanding Eagle Scout Award, the NESA Distinguished Eagle Scout Award, and the NESA Distinguished Service Award.  Donors are recognized via the NESA Legacy Society.  

Council NESA committees may devise their own local awards to recognize community service and NESA activities, consistent with their council’s policies.
