Once an Eagle Scout, always an Eagle Scout. Yet in the past, Scouting lost track of many Eagle Scouts once they left home for a job, college, or the military. Only if Scouting was lucky, Eagle Scouts returned to Scouting when their sons or daughters joined the program. The local council’s NESA committee can help maintain an Eagle Scout’s connection to Scouting no matter what their season of life may be. This continued association can be a mutually beneficial relationship for both the Eagle Scout and Scouting by providing social and business networking opportunities and service to youth in the community. The council NESA committee can work in tandem with the Scouting Alumni Association (SAA) committee to find all lost Scouts, because the adage “Once a Scout, always a Scout” is true as well. 

Keep in mind that the purposes of a council NESA committee are as follows: 

• To support the council’s mission and vision 
• To help the council achieve its Journey to Excellence goals 
• To find and encourage each Eagle Scout to serve as an active resource for the council’s leadership and programs
