The Tennessee State Society Competition
The Tennessee State Society award is $500.00 with
the winner being entered in the National Eagle Scout
competition as the TNSSAR's representative. Further
awards may be made by the Chapter to their winner.
Entrants need to complete only one application --
the one for the Chapter competition. If it is a winner
it is then used for the State competition and, if it
is a winner again, it is then used for the National
competition.

during a calendar year for Scholarships to be awarded
in the Spring of the following year from Eagle Scouts
who have not attained the age of 19 years old during
that calendar year. Applications must be submitted through
local Chapters first. If sent directly to the State

necessary, Scouts should contact the State Chairman
for the chapter nearest him. The Tennessee State Chairman
sets the specific deadline for receipt of applications.
