Sept. 24-26, 2026
Eagle Council 54 will offer a memorable learning experience for STUDENT EAGLES led by Mrs. Frances Arthur, our National Student Eagles Director, and a team of Student leaders, as we celebrate America 250! Arrive Thursday (9/24) in time for our 6-9 pm Meet, Greet, and Pizza Party at the Sheraton Music City Nashville Airport Hotel! Special programming designed just for STUDENTS will be presented on Friday morning.
Friday, September 25 also includes a special afternoon tour of The Hermitage, the home of President Andrew Jackson — the first grassroots choice for U.S. president who lost his first election due to voter fraud and machinations by the D.C. swamp!
On Friday evening, we will enjoy an interactive dinner and hear from, among others, our keynote speaker, Eric Metaxas, author of a brand-new book REVOLUTION!
Saturday (9/26) will be filled with speakers, meals, and engagement with your fellow Students and conference attendees. The conference will close after dinner on Saturday night, at which time you are free to either stay longer to see the sights of Nashville with your parents or return home on Sunday.
Please visit our website at EagleForum.org to view the conference schedule and REGISTER TODAY! We encourage you to take advantage of our special STUDENT RATE (14-21 yrs.) of only $100 (including all designated meals and meetings – see registration site). NOTE: Students must be accompanied by a parent, and parents may register at a discounted rate of $200 each and make their hotel reservations at the low nightly rate of $159 here.
WE WILL LEAVE NO STUDENT LEFT BEHIND and so if you need assistance, don’t hesitate to let us know.
Your leadership training and skill-building start BEFORE you arrive! We are encouraging all students to work with their parents, local Student Eagles groups, Eagle Forum State Leaders, and/or Frances Arthur, National Student Eagles Director, to raise funds to attend the conference. Students and their groups are getting very creative and learning a lot through this fundraising process.
However, WE DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE ANY STUDENT BEHIND. Through the generous contributions of others, we have several scholarships (partial or full) available to teens and collegians who were unable to raise full funding and want to attend.
To apply for a partial or full scholarship (one applicant per family, please which includes registration, meals, tour, and one hotel room for three nights – up to 4 per room), contact Julia Warton at julia@eagleforum.org or Frances Arthur at franmk@bellsouth.net ASAP to discuss. The deadline is August 24. Questions? Please do not hesitate to contact either of us!
We look forward to seeing YOU and your parents in NASHVILLE at EAGLE COUNCIL 54 as we Celebrate America’s 250th!
Arrive Monday (9/8) in time for our 7:30-9 pm Meet, Greet, and Info Gathering at the National Landing Crystal City Hotel! Then spend the next two full days and evenings (9/9-10) on Capitol Hill Lobbying and attending briefings with your parents! We will join together again with everyone on Thursday morning at the hotel for further training and lunch, which will end at 2 pm. This will close the conference, at which time you are free to stay longer and see the sights with your parents or return home.
