The Laurel Highlands Council’s National Eagle Scout Association Committee wants to recognize Outstanding Eagle Scouts! We need your help to recognize these men.

The NESA Outstanding Eagle Scout Award (NOESA) is a prestigious recognition granted by the local council’s NESA committee to Eagle Scouts who have demonstrated outstanding achievement at the local, state, or regional level. 

Scouting was put to the test over the course of three years, when a research team from Tufts University worked with the Boy Scouts of America’s Cradle of Liberty Council to measure the character attributes of both Scouts and non-Scouts — all with a goal of better understanding the character development of youth as it was happening.

The Corporate Eagle Scout Recruiting Program (CESRP) continued its progress since the last newsletter. On September 25th, 2017, we held our first annual CESRP Roundtable with the goal of sharing the best practices of organizations who have already begun the process of implementing a program in their organizations.
