Read all about it in the March 2008 Edition of ESAA Newsletter

Congratulations go to Scoutmaster Randy Seefeldt of Troop 959 for being selected as our 2007 Charles L. "Chuck" Smith Scoutmaster of the Year.  Randy was recognized for this lofty achievement by ESAA President Karl Shelton and 2nd Vice President Randy Klotz.

The annual Council Dinner was held Friday, February 8, at the Doubletree Hotel in Mission Valley.  Scouters from each district, from council and from the community were there to recognize the achievement or our top volunteers.

Each year, the Eagle Scout Alumni Association presents one exceptional Scouter with the Charles L. "Chuck" Smith Scoutmaster of the Year Award.  Nominations are accepted beginning in September through the end of the year, and our committee selects one candidate who best meets the requirements and guidelines of the award. 

  Eagle Recognition Dinner, April 17

Achieving the rank of Eagle Scout is a monumental challenge.  Each year, the San Diego-Imperial Council recognizes those young men who achieved the rank of Eagle the previous year.  This year's Eagle Recognition Dinner will be held on April 17 from 6-9 PM at the Hall of Champions in Balboa Park.  This year we are expecting over 200 recent Eagle Scouts, dinner sponsors, Council representatives and guests.  All Eagles who earned their rank in 2007 are invited to this amazing event at no charge.  Adult sponsors are paired with each new Eagle to cover the cost of the event for both and to host the scout and mentor him toward his future endeavors.

We hope to see each and every 2007 Eagle Scout at the dinner this week, and we thank all sponsors for your dedication to these young men and to the Scouting Program.

  ESAA at the Scout Fair, April 19

The Eagle Scout Alumni Association will once again host a booth at the San Diego Imperial Council Scout Fair.  The Scout Fair will be held at Qualcomm Stadium on Saturday, April 19, from 9AM to 3PM.  We will have interesting memorabilia, photos of Eagles in action, and a map of where Eagles in the county received their rank award.  We will be set up to register new ESAA members and we are helping the Council collect information on all council Eagle Scouts regardless of ESAA membership.  Stop by our booth and say hello!
