Digital Badges

Thanks to our partners at Credly, current NESA members can now showcase their Eagle Scout pride and NESA membership with official digital badges. This member benefit is available at no additional cost to active members and includes the option to display an Eagle Scout badge, NESA logo badge, or both on LinkedIn and other social media platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get Your Digital Badges

No. This member benefit is provided to active NESA members at no additional cost through our partnership with Credly.

While badges are simply digital image files, they are uniquely linked to data hosted on Credly. This link to verified data makes them more reliable and secure than a paper-based certificate. It also eliminates the possibility of anyone claiming your credential and your associated identity.
