Some
of our 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, our partnership with the
Boy Scouts of America dates back to 1915 when VFW Post 2100 helped to
establish Troop 1 in Everett, Washington.
Our Scout of the Year program provides members of the Boy Scouts and
Girl Scouts who display standout citizenship, patriotism and love of
country with the opportunity to be rewarded with college scholarships of
up to $5,000.
Before submitting your Scout of the Year application, please review the rules and eligibility requirements.
