The NESA Outstanding Eagle Scout Award (NOESA) is a distinguished service award of Scouting America. It is awarded to an Eagle Scout by the National Eagle Scout Association for distinguished service to their profession and community. The recipient must be recommended by their local council’s NESA committee, president, and Scout executive.

The Distinguished Eagle Scout Award (DESA) is a similar recognition, but requires a tenure of twenty-five years as an Eagle Scout. NOESA is not required for the DESA award, but DESA recipients may not subsequently receive the NOESA.

Award

The award consists of a round silver medallion bearing an eagle in flight and the words "Scouting America NESA Outstanding Eagle Scout". The medallion is suspended from a blue neck ribbon. The recipient also receives a lapel pin miniature of the medallion and a square knot pin device for uniform wear. The recipient is also presented with a certificate.

History

The NOESA was introduced during Scouting America’s 100th anniversary with the first awards being made by the National Eagle Scout Association upon the recommendation of local council NESA Committees. The award was created to recognize notable Eagle Scouts who had either performed their distinguished service closer to home (at the local, state, or regional level) or who were known nationally, but had not yet met the 25-year tenure as an Eagle requirement for the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award.

Recipients

The number of NOESA medals a council may present each calendar year is based upon the number of Eagle Scouts certified by the national office during the previous year. Each council may present two awards if there were between one and 100 new Eagle Scouts from that council the previous year, plus one additional award for every additional 100 Eagle Scouts or portion thereof. A council is not permitted to carry unused nominations into the next calendar year, nor to "borrow" from the next year's allotment.
