NESA Outstanding Eagle Scout Award
2024 Nomination Deadline Closes In...
Now Closed
Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle. That is the slogan we promotes at the 1985 Jamboree and by which I have tried to live my life.
After leaving the support system of youth and entering the world, the words of the Eagle Scout Challenge gave me constant reminder of the Scout Oath and Law. This provides me with perspective in every decision I make as an adult.
Recognition as an Outstanding Eagle validated the ideals of scouting to my children and is a reminder that the belief system I adopted as a youth are still valid as an older man.
The The NESA Outstanding Eagle Scout Award (NOESA) was established during the BSA’s 100th Anniversary in 2010, with the first recipient to receive the award a year later. The award was created to recognize notable Eagle Scouts who had either performed distinguished service at the local, state, or regional level or were known nationally but had not yet met the 25-year tenure as an Eagle for the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award (DESA). Often, worthy candidates for the NOESA have inspired others through their actions and have devoted a lifetime to their profession, avocation, community, and beliefs, at great sacrifice to themselves and their families.
The NOESA has gained a prominent standing among Scouting recognitions. Previous recipients include famous authors, explorers, television personalities, military flag officers, scientists, government officials, and prominent businessmen.
The selection of recipients is made by the local council NESA committee (which may utilize an NESA awards sub-committee), Scout executive, and council president. Each recipient’s actions and accomplishments should elevate the stature of Eagle Scouts in the public eye.
