Your Trail to Eagle Scout

While a Life Scout, plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a service project helpful to any religious institution, any school, or your community. (The project must benefit an organization other than the BSA.) A project proposal must be approved by the organization benefiting from the effort, your unit leader and unit committee, and the council or district before you start.

You must use the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, BSA publication No. 512-927, to meet this requirement.

For district approvals, find the contacts for your district here.

In preparation for your board of review, do the following:

1. Prepare and print your Eagle Scout Rank Application (download and save the application form to a permanent folder before filling out to prevent data loss)
2. Write a statement of your ambitions and life purpose.
3. Write a listing of positions held in your religious institution, school, camp, community, or other organizations, during which you demonstrated leadership skills. Include honors and awards received during this service.

You deserve to be recognized for this huge achievement!

Eagle Scout courts of honor are fully developed celebrations recognizing Scouts who have attained Scouting’s highest rank.

The Scout is free to plan and conduct a court of honor after receiving confirmation of approval by the Scouting America National Advancement Committee. 

Please upload your Eagle project and share your Scouting story to inspire others to continue on their Trail to Eagle.  You can see the map of Eagle Projects here.

A number of organizations and schools offer scholarships for Eagle Scouts. Because the available awards and application processes change often, Scouts are encouraged to conduct an internet search for scholarships.
