EAGLE CAREER DAY PROGRAMThe purpose of the Eagle Career Day Program is directed at guiding Scouting careers. It is a day where Scouts and their parents are invited to hear speakers and panel discussions. Whether your interest is in going to college, entering the labor trades, or seeking a career in the military, NESA Laurel Highlands Council wants you to make an informed choice. NESA will provide that opportunity annually, each March, at the University of Pittsburgh. Experienced professionals will provide insights into various opportunities and options available to our Scouts, and answer questions. Particular attention will be given to the cost of higher education, and options for financing. Parents are encouraged to attend and participate. NESA's goal is to help our scouts make the best choices for their futures. Generally, the agenda follows a layout like the one below:
