American Legion Eagle Scout Scholarship
The qualifications are that the Eagle must be the relative of a
Legionnaire or be registered to a Troop, Crew or Team sponsored by an American Legion Post. He (for the time being) must be older than 15 years old and if still in high school can be over 18 years old if their birthdate is in the nomination year. He must reside in the state to which he applies although the Legionnaire may not. He must have received the appropriate religious award. Also there are letters of recommendation he would have to get, but all that is spelled out in the application.

The reward is if chosen there is a pot of $25,000.00 in scholarships available. The state organization provides a plaque and (I think)
$1,500.00 scholarship.
You can contact John McLaughlin jrmac47@comcast.net if you have any questions.

Combined Committee Training
Several years ago, TJ Furlong had a really good idea. She pointed out that a number of sponsors had the same, single committee for both a Pack and Troop, or for a Troop and Crew. Additionally, Pack
Committee members would eventually wind up in Troop Committees as their children bridged. Her idea was to teach a single course that qualified the student to serve on ANY committee.
We will teach the combined Committee training at the District Merit Badge Day. The course will take about 5-6 hours, depending on questions asked. We will teach Troop Committee as the base, then Venturing and Pack Committee by differences from the Troop. Please email Mark Mulligan at crew396@aol.com to sign up. Students staying the entire time will get credit for the three separate BSA trainings.
Remember, all these courses are also available as on line training at my.scouting.org
