Important!
The most common problem with National BSA not approving the Eagle
Badge is when the boy is not Registered during and just after the eagle
board.
Check with
the Registration Dept 214-902-6790 to be sure the scout is officially
registered
before the board of review. This is especially true if they are over
18 yr old.
Also be sure the scout has had at least 6
months and 1 wk
in the leadership position after the date of Life.
Roger and Randy frequently approve Eagle Projects and do Eagle
Boards of Review at
Woodhaven Presbyterian Church, 3650 North O'Connor Road, Irving TX 75062
Eagle Projects from 7 to 7:30 and Boards from 7:30 to 8:30. Call/email
to set up a time
and day for this.

Alternate Eagle MB Plan for scouts with disabilities. This form should be filled out and
forwarded to me to take to Council Meeting for approval. This allows the boy to substitute cub scout achievements and boy scout
MBs that he is physically not capable of doing. It will allow him to continue to work on his eagle past 18yr.
He must complete all requirements for that rank that he is capable of doing before requesting these changes.
