National Eagle Scout Association, Tucson Chapter
The Tucson Chapter of the National Eagle Scout Association exists to support and promote Scouting in Southern Arizona.
We will accomplish this by:
• Partnering with the leadership and scouts from Catalina Council
• Assisting scouts on their trail to Eagle through
• Establishing, planning, coordinating, and attending fundraisers that support Scouting
National Eagle Scout Association (NESA) is young men searching for dynamic and challenging leadership roles. NESA is older Eagle Scouts who desire using their efforts and influence toward forming the kind of young men America needs for leadership. The objective of NESA is to serve—to serve Eagle Scouts and through them, the entire movement of Scouting.
