Statement to Mr. Baird and Mr. Stanford for signatures on the application.
MAKE PHOTOCOPIES OF ALL PAPERWORK BEFORE PROCEEDING!
Have Mr. Baird submit your Eagle Scout application and other materials to the
Chattahoochee Council office in Columbus.
Once the Council has verified and accepted the Eagle Rank Application and returned the
paperwork to Mr. Baird, he will contact the District Eagle Scout Advancement
Chairman to schedule your Board of Review.
Make 3 copies of your Eagle Rank Application, Service Project Workbook and your Life Ambitions
Statement, along with the originals, to submit to the Eagle Board. Mr. Baird will
submit these materials, along with the letters of reference to the Eagle Board.
Wear your FULL Class A uniform to the Eagle Scout Board of Review.
The Class A uniform consists of the official BSA shirt and pants with the appropriate patches
sewn on in their proper places (as shown in the Scout Handbook or the BSA Uniform Inspection
form). Any scouting belt is acceptable. Wear your Troop 50 neckerchief with an
appropriate slide. The merit badge sash is considered part of the uniform and should be
worn over the right shoulder (not on the belt). An OA sash is only authorized for OA activities
and should not be worn at the Eagle Board of Review. Any variation to this uniform policy is at
the discretion of the Eagle Scout Advancement Chairman.
Upon successfully passing the Eagle Board of Review, obtain the signatures required on the
Eagle Scout Rank Application ‐ CONGRATULATIONS! You are now an Eagle Scout.
The completed Eagle Scout Rank Application is returned to the Chattahoochee Council office,
where it is forwarded to the BSA National Office for final approval.
The National Office returns the application, along with the Eagle Scout credentials to the
Chattahoochee Council office where it is retrieved by the Scoutmaster.
