Congratulations to the 2026 Eagle Scout Scholarship Recipients
The Eagle Scout Scholarship program recognizes Scouts who display extraordinary achievements in academics, athletics, Scouting, and overall service to their community. This scholarship program has awarded nearly a half-million dollars in scholarships since its inception in 1990.
In 2026, Northern Star Scouting troops and crews produced 461 Eagle Scouts, of which 85 applied for scholarships, and 20 were awarded a 2026 Eagle Scout Scholarship. These 20 Scouts are high school seniors who have been awarded college scholarships totaling $39,500.
Congratulations to Oliver Jurek, from Troop 3477 in Plymouth Minnesota, who was chosen as the 2026 Eagle Scout of the Year and will receive a $5,000 scholarship. Luke Peterson and Braeden Pruitt were finalists for the Eagle of the Year award and will each receive $3,000 scholarships. The other 17 Scouts will receive $1,500 scholarships for fall 2026.
