Requirement 5 on your application requires two steps to complete. First you must develop your Eagle
Scout Project and have it approved. After it is approved, you must then carry it out. As a rule of thumb,
your project should entail a minimum of 50 hours, to include planning the project, carrying it out and
writing the summary.
Look at the publication entitled “Life to Eagle Packet.” Inside you will find a workbook entitled “Eagle
Scout Service Project Workbook.” You need to write carefully and plainly in this workbook, as it will be
part of your Eagle Application. Read the materials regarding the Eagle Scout Service Project. As you
develop your project, fill in all information through page 3.
At this point in time you need to secure approval from the Religious Institution, School, or Community
Organization that will benefit from your project. Then the plans must be approved by your Scoutmaster
and Troop Committee. At this point you or your Scoutmaster will submit your written project to the District
Advancement Committee.
The District Advancement Committee will either approve your project or return your materials to you and
ask you to rethink your plan. The Committee may offer some suggestions to help you. Do not begin your
project until you receive District Advancement Committee Approval. When your materials are returned to
you approved, you may begin. After you have carried out your service project you need to “write it up” on
pages 4 through 7 and secure the required signatures. Once you have done this, keep these materials in
a safe place until you are ready to submit your Eagle Application.
Check off the following as you accomplish them:
_____
Proposed project written up on pages 1-3.
_____

_____

Requirement 6 on your application also has two parts. First, you must write an essay on your ambitions
and life purpose, according to the directions stated on your application. This is a very important essay
and will be read by the members of your Board of Review. It becomes a permanent part of your Eagle
Application on file with the National Council. Therefore, give careful time and consideration to what you
wish to say. Type it or write neatly, avoiding erasures, cross outs and strike overs. When completed, sign
it and attach it to your application.
The second part of Requirement 6 states that you must take part in a Scoutmaster Conference.
_____
Life Purpose essay written
_____
Scoutmaster Conference completed.
After you have completed all of the items on the checklist, you need to give your Eagle application and
life purpose statement to your Scoutmaster, who must sign the application and submit it to the Scout
Service Center. Your Scoutmaster will keep your letters of recommendation and your Eagle Project
