Attention Black River District!

Earning the Eagle Scout Award can open the door to many career opportunities, and as Scouts study for those careers, the National Eagle Scout Association can help. Several scholarship opportunities are available to active NESA members (click here to learn how to join).

Our District Pinewood Derby will be held on Saturday, March 20, 2021 at Holland's United Methodist Church in Raleigh.
