Sons of the American Revolution Eagle Scout Contest
Eagle Scout Hanna C. of Troop 1978G in Vienna, Virginia won the Fairfax Resolves chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution’s King Eagle Scout contest. She is one of three Eagle Scouts from NCAC in Virginia who went on to the state-level contest.
This is an annual contest open to any Eagle Scout that is a registered youth. It consists of an application that documents the scouts’ achievements, such as number of merit badges earned, a four generation family tree, and most importantly a 500 word patriotic themed essay. Winners at the local chapter level are given a certificate, full size medal, and a cash prize. One can then go on to the state level competition and then to the national competition.
