Eagle Scout Resume Building


Eagle Scouts build leadership capacity, technical proficiency, problem-solving abilities, and perseverance. The up coming webinar will help participants communicate those experiences in language that resonates with employers.



Please join Michael Buras, NESA Vice President for Training, on Sunday, October 4, at 5:30 p.m. CT for a webinar focused on “Resumes: How to Highlight Your Eagle Scout Experiences, Knowledge, and Skills.”

Highlight your Eagle Scout achievements by explicitly detailing the leadership, technical skills, and perseverance required to reach the rank. Since not everyone is familiar with the process, translate your experiences into professional terms that demonstrate your value to a broader audience.
