SCOUT OF THE YEAR
Some of the VFW’s earliest ties to the community involve youth groups. Few are stronger — and none more lasting — than the close relationship between the VFW and Boy Scouts of America, dating back to 1915. Each year, the VFW selects three young people — of the Boy or Girl Scouts, Sea Scouts, or Venturing Crew — who have demonstrated practical citizenship in school, scouting, and the community. The first-place winner receives a $5,000 award, the second-place winner receives a $3,000 award, and the third-place winner receives $1,000.
