Michael,

For your reference, if the Life Scouts finishes the requirements for Eagle and
appliles but the unit refuses to sign the application because of the troop
policy. He may appeal. If he does HE WILL WIN.

Why?

1. Troop policy is not part of the requirements for Eagle. Only the
National Advancement Committee may impliment chagnes to the requirement for
Eagle.

2. One of the reasons National recently changed the wording of Scout Spirit
was because of the "Quota Problems". Too many troops were doing just what
your policy states and this is not in the requirements for Eagle. Living
the Scout Law and Oath in your daily life is. You do not need 50%
participation at Camp-outs to live the Scout Oath and Law. If an Appeal
ever gets as far as National (Most local Councils know better than to let
it get that far) based upon a quota participation, even if it is 5%
participation, National most likely will shoot the quota down because it is
a quota. (They do not care what the quota is, since there is no quota in
the Eagle Requirements, they will not consider one reason for turning down
an Eagle.)
