Eagle Process

Please use this as a ‘reference guide’ to complete your Eagle Scout Leadership Project. Obviously, depending on the type of project, the steps below may change a bit. Also, utilize the information located here, Eagle Scout Advancement, as your definitive guide for obtaining your Eagle Rank. As always, you have the entire Troop to lean on for help and guidance. Additional resources can be found here, http://eaglescout.org/index.htm, not a BSA site but still a lot of information.

Eagle Scout Workbook and Application can be found here:
