Membership FAQs

Eagle Scouts or their gift sponsors may complete a membership application here. The local Council must have first entered verification of Eagle Scout achievements into their database. Paper applications are no longer accepted.  Very rare exceptions may be granted on a case-by-case basis.

No. NESA memberships are unique to each Eagle Scout and are thus non-transferable.
