Arthur M. & Berdena King Eagle Scout Contest

The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) invites all Eagle Scouts interested in the American Revolution to participate in the Arthur M. & Berdena King Eagle Scout Contest. This scholarship and cash award competition recognizes outstanding Eagle Scouts through a three-phase competition at the Chapter, State Society, and National levels. Participants must complete an application form, a four-generation ancestor chart, and a 500-word patriotic themed essay. The contest awards substantial prizes to top performers, with the National First Place Winner receiving $10,000, followed by 2nd Place ($6,000), 3rd Place ($4,000), 4th Place ($2,000), 5th Place ($1,000), 6th through 10th Place ($500 each), and 11th through 15th Place ($200 each). Awards may be taken as either a cash award or as a scholarship to an educational institution. The First Place Winner is invited to appear at the SAR Annual Congress for recognition and receives a travel and lodging allowance.
