Hey Eagle Scouts! Pretty cool option here...

Earning the Eagle Scout rank was never just about the badge — it was about the lessons, the leadership, the service, and the growth that shaped who I am today. 🦅
Now, the National Eagle Scout Association is helping us bring that legacy into the digital world. With NESA Digital Badging, Eagle Scouts can proudly display their accomplishments on LinkedIn, email signatures, resumes, and more.

It’s a powerful way to share the values we live by: leadership, service, citizenship, and continuous learning.
If you’re an Eagle, elevate your professional presence and show your Eagle pride.

If you have not yet completed the (new!) 90-minute Safeguarding Youth Training (SYT), we STRONGLY ENCOURAGE you to do so NOW. Technology can be our friend, but we all know that systems can get overwhelmed when everyone is on them at once.

Be sure to navigate to the correct course to receive credit!
--Log on to training.scouting.org
--Look up “Safeguarding Youth”
--Select the full 90 minute course learning plan

Pro Tip: If you take the (new!) SYT refresher course before taking the SYT 90-minute course, you will NOT get credit. Be sure to select the right course!
