Upcoming Alumni Events
Eagle Scouts from throughout South Jersey are welcome to attend any of our events, some of which have age guidelines.
Eagle Scout Alumni Association Scholarship
The Eagle Alumni Committee of the Garden State Council awards an annual scholarship of $1,000 to an Eagle Scout who will be heading to college or a post‐high school technical school in the year the scholarship is awarded. Candidates must be an Eagle Scout, meaning all requirements have been met, and the Board of Review has approved the individual to be an Eagle Scout in the Garden State Council.
Scholarship candidates must also be graduating high school in the same year they apply for the scholarship. An Eagle Scout must submit the application, downloadable below, along with a 1,000 word essay on the topic “What does being an Eagle Scout mean to me?”
