It's not too late.......COME JOIN US! Our 7th annual Fall Mid-South NESA Day Of Service will be held October 24, 2026 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Camp Currier in Eudora, MS. This event is open to all Eagle Scouts, Eagle candidates, Order of the Arrow members, adult Scouters and Scouts looking for service hours. All Eagle Scouts in attendance will receive the Mid-South NESA council strip for participating. This year’s project will include brush/limb clearing along the main entry road from the camp's entry to the Golightly Cabin. All tools will be provided. We ask that participants bring work gloves, sun protection and a water bottle. Lunch will be provided.

Please plan to meet under the porch at the Golightly Cabin at 8:45 a.m. to check in. This event is always rewarding, a lot of fun, and we’ll be setting an example by giving back on a day when over 1,000 cub scouts and family members will be attending HeroQuest.
Parking is available along the camp’s main entry road on the right just before reaching the Golightly Cabin, which is the first building on the left. Please contact Phil Blum ([email protected]) or Carl Hanke ([email protected]) with any questions. Click the link below to sign up so we'll know you are coming:

The Harris Poll organization recently surveyed thousands of adults to study how Eagle Scouts compare to people who have never participated in Scouting. While Eagle Scouts scored highest on a number of positive attributes, other Scouting participants also scored significantly higher than the public at large in key metrics including well-being, optimism, healthy activities and choices, leadership, civic engagement, character, values and a willingness to speak up. The values of Scouting remain as relevant and valuable today as they've been for past generations. Click on the below link for the results of this study.

Last week, we recognized three very impressive adult Eagle Scouts with the National Outstanding Eagle Scout Award (NOESA), and also presented the Chickasaw Council's Outstanding Alumnus Award at the Chickasaw Council's annual Recognition Banquet and Celebration of Eagles event. Robert Dinkelspiel, Smith Murphey and Tom Sullivan, our NOESA recipients, have all made strong contributions to Scouting, their professions and their communities at large, and were very worthy recipients of their awards. Our outstanding Alumnus, David Pickler, has similarly been a pillar of our community, and has contributed so much to Scouting and the Chickasaw Council over many years.

Mid-South NESA also recognized the 2025 outstanding Eagle Scout service projects from the 2025 Eagle class. These projects represented a lot of hard work by these Eagle Scouts and their project teams, and will benefit our communities for many years to come.

It was a great night for Scouting in the Mid-South!
