Distinguished Eagle Scouts

The Distinguished Eagle Scout Award was established in 1969 to acknowledge Eagle Scouts who have received extraordinary national-level recognition, fame, or eminence within their field, and have a strong record of voluntary service to their community. Only Eagle Scouts who earned the Eagle Scout rank a minimum of 25 years previously are eligible for nomination. The award is given by the National Eagle Scout Association upon the recommendation of a committee of Distinguished Eagle Scouts.

To nominate a Sam Houston Area Council Eagle Scout, download the DESA nomination form and return to Clay Pruitt at clay.pruitt@scouting.org.  For more information, visit the NESA's Website.
