Background on the Award:
The National Eagle Scout Association established the Glenn A. and Melinda W. Adams Eagle Scout Service Project of the Year Award to recognize valuable service of an exceptional nature by a Scout to a religious institution, a school, community, or other entity. The award recognizes the Scout for their Eagle Scout leadership service project, which is part of the requirements for earning the Eagle Scout Award. Each local council will choose a council-level recipient and from that pool, each BSA territory will pick a BSA territory-level recipient. A National recipient is selected from BSA territory recipients. Each year, an Eagle Scout, their parents, or any registered BSA volunteer (with the Eagle Scout’s permission) may submit their Eagle Scout leadership service project for consideration. The Scout must have passed their Eagle Board of Review in the prior calendar year (January 1 to December 31).
In 2023, the Greater Hudson Valley Council will honor our second recipient of the Adams Award. We look forward to learning about all the great Eagle Scout projects in the Greater Hudson Valley Council!
