Arthur M. & Berdena King Eagle Scout Award
Updated: 3/30/2021
The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution
(SAR) invites all Eagle Scouts (under 19 years of age)
interested in the American Revolution to participate
in the Arthur M. & Berdena King Eagle Scout Award. The
contest is open to all Eagle Scouts who are currently
registered in an active unit and have not reached their
nineteenth birthday during the year of application.
(The application
year is the calendar year, January 1 to December 31)
While the preliminary rounds of the contest begin at the
local level, Scouts may eventually advance to the state
or national levels, eventually held in June during the
annual SAR Congress, and awarded up to $10,000.
College plans do not have to be completed in order to
receive the cash award. Scouts may apply more than one
year if he meets the age requirements, but no more than
$10,000 total may be granted to any one Eagle Scout.
The competition is conducted in three phases: the local
chapter, state-level society, and national phases. Applicants
may not enter at the national level. Contest entrants
need complete only one application for the SAR chapter-level
competition.
