Eagle scout contest
The Arthur M. & Berdena King Eagle Scout Program
Scouts prior to their 19th birthday
We invite all Eagle Scouts interested in the American Revolution to participate in the Arthur M. & Berdena King Eagle Scout Contest. The contest is open to all Eagle Scouts who are currently registered in an active unit and have not reached their nineteenth birthday during the calendar year in which the contest occurs. Applicants submit a two-page application form, a four-generation ancestry chart, and a 500-word essay on a patriotic theme.
The competition is conducted in three phases: the local Chapter level, State Society level, and National level. The competition is usually entered at the Chapter level, though in some cases, the competition may be entered at the State Society level. Applicants may not enter at the National level. Contest entrants need complete only one application for the SAR Chapter level competition. The application of the Chapter level winner is forwarded to be used in State Society and National level competitions by the SAR as appropriate. A complete set of rules, along with the application for both the applicant and the sponsoring SAR members, can be found on the Eagle Scout Application Form available for download on the link below. Please be aware that the local application deadline dates may vary, so interested applicants should reach out to the local SAR State Eagle Scout contact listed below for further details.
Awards may be taken as either a cash award, or as a scholarship to an educational institution.
Entry Deadline: December 31st; Certificates available all year
Contact: Your nearest Local Chapter to get started!
