Eagle Applicant Recommendation Parents Or Guardians

BUCKEYE COUNCIL, BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA

EAGLE APPLICANT RECOMMENDATION

PARENTS or GUARDIANS

An Eagle Scout is expected to be a participating citizen in his home, school, church and

community. Before approving this Award, we would like to have a frank appraisal in a separate

personal letter, from you regarding your son, who has made application to the Buckeye Council,

Boy Scouts of America, for the Eagle Scout Award.

FOLLOWING ARE SOME GUIDELINES THAT MAY HELP YOU IN

WRITING YOUR LETTER

We would like to know if you feel that he has lived up to the principles of the Scout Oath and

Law. We would particularly like your appraisal of this, as related to his life at home.

We would appreciate it if you would put your reply in the form of a letter addressed to the Eagle

Scout’s Board of review Chairman. The following questions should be answered as you write

this recommendation.

Does he have regular “chores” around the home? If so, does he do them without constant

pushing and supervision?

Is he helpful – to you, his parents, and the others members of the family?

Does he take care of things that belong to him?

Is he dependable? Does he carry through his responsibilities and do what he says he will do?

Does he respect the rights and property of others? Is he a good “team” worker?

Does he attempt (in part at least) to earn his own way? Is he thrifty?

What is his attitude toward younger brothers and sisters (if there are any)?

Your reply will be given careful consideration at his Eagle Interview, which will be held upon

receipt of your reply, along with statements from others who were given as reference.

Your suggestions and recommendations concerning this Scout will be appreciated.

Please send your letter to the unit Committee Chairman, in the stamped, addressed envelope

supplied by the Eagle applicant.

Mail to: Unit Committee Chairman by: ___________________ (date)

Sincerely,

Buckeye Council BSA
