Worksheet until the time of your Board of Review.

The complete application includes

# Eagle Scout Rank Application

# Life Purpose Statement

# Eagle Service Project Workbook

# Six Letters of Recommendation (Seven letters if you are employed).

The Council Service Center will verify all of the dates on your application. A Council representative will

then sign your application if all is in order and return the application to your Scoutmaster.

At this point, you will have a brief wait.

The final step is your Eagle Board of Review. The Eagle Board of Review is conducted under the

direction of the District Advancement Committee. It is conducted by members of the District Committee

and some members of your Troop Committee.

You will be advised as to when and where your Eagle Board of Review will take place. Your Eagle

application, life purpose statement, Eagle project worksheet, and letters of recommendation will be

reviewed by the members of your review board. You will not see your letters of recommendation.

Upon successful completion of your Eagle Board of Review, your application is signed by the chairman

of the Eagle Board of Review, an appointed representative of the District or Council and is then sent to

the Council Service Center for the Scout Executive’s approval.

Your application is then forwarded to the National Boy Scout headquarters for review. Approval or

disapproval normally takes about two to four weeks. If approved, the process is complete. When your

certificate and Eagle kit are received by your troop, you can then plan your Court of Honor according to

local custom.

If your application is disapproved either by the local or national council, your will be informed as to the

reason for the disapproval and will be told what needs to be done to correct the deficiency.
