Arizona SAR Eagle Scout Essay Contest
SAR continues to recognize members of the BSA that have attained the rank of Eagle. And this year there is a special clause in the rules for Scouts that may have been affected by the recent pandemic.
The deadline for entries into the Arizona SAR Eagle Scout Essay contest is December 31, 2021. All members are encouraged to reach out to any Eagle Scout who has not yet reached his 19th birthday (or fits into the special exemption as noted below) and urge them to enter this essay contest.
Scouts that may be over 19 but fit into this special category are eligible to enter. "Temporary Transition Rules Extension
– Any youth who registered as a member of Scouts BSA between February 1, 2019, and December 1, 2019 and was granted an extension by the National Council BSA to complete the Eagle Scout rank requirements after they have turned 18 years of age, will have 365 days from the date their Eagle Scout application was validated by the National Advancement Program Team to enter the contest. A copy of the approved extension must be attached to the contest application. College plans do not have to be completed in order to receive the awards.”
