EAGLE SCOUT REQUIREMENTS

5. While a Life Scout, plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a service project helpful to any religious institution, any school, or your community. (The project should benefit an organization other than Boy Scouting.) The project idea must be approved by the organization benefiting from the effort, your Scoutmaster and troop committee, and the council or district before you start. You must use the Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook, BSA publication No. 18-927, in meeting this requirement. (Pages 173-74)

6. Take pan in a Scoutmaster conference. [Page 175)

7. Successfully complete an Eagle Scout hoard of review. (Page 176)

*YOU MUST CHOOSE ONLY ONE MERIT BADGE listed in items g and j. If you have earned more than one of the badges listed in items g and j, choose one and list the remaining badges to make your total of 21.

NOTE: All requirements for Eagle Scout must be completed before a candidate's 18th birthday. The Eagle Scout board of review can be held after the candidate's 18th birthday. For more information, see Advancement Committee Policies and Procedures, publication No. 33088.

If you have a permanent physical or mental disability you may become an Eagle Scout by qualifying for as many required merit badges as you can and qualifying for alternative merit badges for the rest. If you seek to become an Eagle Scout under this procedure, you must submit a special application to your local council service center. Your application must be approved by your council advancement committee before you can work on alternative merit badges.

As you complete each requirement, ask your Scoutmaster or someone designated by you or Scoutmaster to initial his or her approval on pages 446-447.

EAGLE PALMS AFTER BECOMING AN EAGLE SCOUT, you will certainly want to continue taking part in activities with your troop, and you may continue earning merit badges. The BSA recognizes achievements beyond the Eagle Scout rank by awarding Eagle Palms.
