Important!
The most common problem with National BSA not approving the Eagle
Badge is Registration from beginning in Scouts to Eagle board of review.
Check with
the Registration Dept 214-902-6790 to be sure the scout was 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.
Important! Be
sure to use a current application for Eagle when coming to the eagle board
of review.
It will ask you for the hours you did on your eagle project. If it
does not, then that is the old one and don't use it.
The link for downloading the current application:
Application for Eagle

Please have a printout of your advancements and merit badges from the online advancement web site.

Instructions for preparing for the board of review for Eagle.
Please ignore the "twelve steps to Eagle" printed on the
back page of the Eagle Project Workbook.
Circle ten does not do it the way it is written in that publication.
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
MBs that he is physically not capable of doing. It will allow him to continue to work
on his eagle past 18yr.
