SCOUT OF THE YEAR
Some
of the VFW's earliest ties to the community involve youth groups and perhaps
none are stronger or more lasting than the relationship between the VFW and
America's scouting organizations. In fact, VFW's partnership with the Boy
Scouts of America dates back to 1915 when VFW Post 2100 helped to establish
Troop 1 in Everett, Washington.
Through
the VFW's Scout of the Year program, members of the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts
who display standout citizenship, patriotism and
love of country have the opportunity to be rewarded with college scholarships
of up to $5,000.
HOW TO ENTER:
Scouts should submit the completed
VFW Scouting Scholarship form, resume of high school activities, scouting
record, community service record and letters of recommendation to a local VFW
Post no later than March 1. Locate your local Post here.
Note: A Scout can enter
through ONE VFW Post only.
