What is NESA?

The National Eagle Scout Association (NESA) is a fellowship of men who have achieved the Eagle Scout rank and who desire using their efforts and influence toward forming the kind of young men America needs for leadership.  The objective of NESA is “to serve Eagle Scouts and, through them, the entire movement of Scouting.”

NESA Membership

Only those who have been granted the Eagle Scout Award by, and who are members in good standing with, the Boy Scouts of America may hold membership in the National Eagle Scout Association.  Applications for NESA membership are cross-checked against the national Eagle Scout register maintained by the Eagle Scout Service.  You will be associated with an impressive group of men, many of whom are now in positions of responsibility and prominence in industry, government, military, business, and education.
