Advancement in an Explorer Post

The Explorer Leader Handbook at page A-36 states that a Scout can
continue advancement to Eagle as an Explorer. The exact text follows:

Any male Explorer who has achieved the First Class rank as a Boy Scout in
a troop or Varsity Scout in a team may continue working toward the Star,
Life, and Eagle awards while an Explorer up to his 18th birthday. He
must meet the requirements as prescribed in The Official Boy Scout
Handbook and the current Boy Scouts Requirements. Leadership
requirements may be met by the Explorer serving as president,
vice-president, secretary, or treasurer in his post, or as boatswain's
mate, yeoman, purser, or storekeeper in his ship. The Scoutmaster
conference will be conducted by the Advisor or Skipper. As the Explorer
meets the requirements for the Star and Life ranks, a board of review is
conducted by the post or ship committee. The Eagle board of reviw
follows the procedure established by the local council.
