(taken from EAGLETIPS-PART 0):
To Earn the Eagle Scout Badge: A Boy Scout must be a registered
member of a Boy Scout Troop or Varsity Team for at least 2.5 years
(assuming normal progress between the time he becomes a member of a
unit and the time of his Eagle Scout Board of Review). Explorers MUST
have earned the First Class Badge in a Troop BEFORE starting work in a
Post or Ship, and most Explorers take about 2.3 years to earn Eagle.
This time may be shortened if he is a graduate of a Cub Scout Pack and
has earned the Arrow of Light or the WEBELOS Badge (and no, those two
awards are NOT one and the same; there are separate requirements for
both!). In addition to the above:
* He must be 18 years of age or below at the time of the final
completion of ALL requirements (he may attend the Board of Review
after his 18th birthday).
* He must be active in his unit for a period of six months after he
have achieved the rank of Life Scout.
* He must provide at least six references whom will witness his
adherance to the principles of the Scout Oath (Promise) and Law in his
daily life.
* He must earn a total of 21 merit badges, including the following:
- *either* Emergency Prepareness OR Lifesaving
- *either* Sports, Personal Fitness OR Swimming
(the others, if earned, become "personal preference" merit badges)
- Camping
- First Aid (this was a requirement for the First Class Badge)
- Citizenship in the Community
- Citizenship in the Nation
- Citizenship in the World
- Communications
- Environmental Science
- Personal Management
- Safety
- 11 other badges based on "personal preferences"
* He must serve activily for a period of 6 months in one of the
following unit leadership roles:
(please note, there are NO exceptions or substitutions of these roles)
- In a Boy Scout Troop: Senior Patrol Leader, Assistant Senior Patrol
Leader, Patrol Leader, Troop Guide, Den Chief, Scribe, Librarian,
Quartermaster, Junior Assistant Scoutmaster, Chaplain Aide,
Instructor, Crew Chief, Team Captain
- In a Varsity Scout Team: Captain, CoCaptain, Program Manager,
Squad Leader, Team Secretary, Librarian, Quartermaster, Chaplain Aide,
Instructor, Den Chief
- In a Explorer Post or Ship: President or Boatswain, Vice President
or Boatswain's Mate, Secretary or Yeoman, Treasurer or Purser, or
Storekeeper.
* While a Life Scout, plan, develop and give leadership to others in
a service project helpful to any organization outside of Scouting.
The project must be approved by your Scoutmaster/Team Coach/Explorer
Advisor or Skipper, the unit's committee, and by your local Council or
District BEFORE YOU START. YOU MUST USE THE EAGLE SCOUT SERVICE
PROJECT WORKBOOK, BSA #18-927 IN MEETING THIS REQUIREMENT.
* He must attach to the application a written statement of his
personal life ambitions and goals, and what he wants to do with his
life. He must also attach listings of all other awards earned from
other sources, other honors and accolades he's received for service
and leadership. He must also take part in a conference with his
adult leader (Scoutmaster, Coach, Advisor/Skipper).
* After the attainment of the previous seven requirements, he must go
before a Board of Review, consisting of either members of the local
Council or District Advancement Committee, members of the unit
committee with at least two members of a Council or District
Advancement Committee present, or a combination of the two above. The
Board will review his progress and recommend to the National Court of
Honor that he should receive the Eagle Scout Badge.
(there's a more detailed explaination of each element in this same
file, available from our Scouts-L archives.)
