Trail to Eagle

A Guide for Life Scouts

Some Eagle Statistics

(this occupies the inside front cover)
Roughly one boy in every 172 earns Eagle (0.6%). Yet over 15% of all US astronauts are Eagle Scouts. So are 10% of the cadets at both West Point and the Air Force Academy.

"They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles." --- Isaiah 40:31

"Now I see the secret of making the best persons, it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth." ---Walt Whitman

Eagle Scout is the most significant honor a boy can earn, in or out of Scouting. It marks him for life! An Eagle is an achiever who will always do great things. An Eagle is a leader who will always be ahead of the group. Society will always expect much from an Eagle, and he will deliver.

He soars high for all to see. His vision is clear and sharp. His bearing is majestic. His direction is certain and his flight swift and sure. Such is the eagle, our nation's symbol. Such is the Eagle, our nation's future.

Eagle Scouts who enlist in the US Air Force start out one rank higher than others who enlist (and with about $100 more pay each month).

The Trail to Eagle

The trail to Eagle Scout requires tremendous commitment to stay on a long and sometime rough path. As a Life Scout, you are just one step away from youth's most significant accomplishment and honor. But that's a big step, and only 56% of our Life Scouts complete Eagle.

Happily, the choice is yours. And you probably have actively involved parents (few Scouts make it to Life, let alone Eagle, without this support).

You can advance at whatever rate you want, but remember that all Eagle requirements except the Board of Review must be finished before your 18th birthday.

Eagle Scouts are valued in our society, because they have proven that they can achieve a long-term goal despite many obstacles. This will help on college admission and on job applications.

This pamphlet will provide you and your parents with key information to help you make the final steps to Eagle.

The Paper Trail

The trail to Eagle is rugged, but the part most people put off until last is one of the easier sections of the trail.

You can make your last few steps to Eagle go smoother if you do a little homework along the way. This is the Paper Trail. Collect, write, and keep the following records up to date--

Date you earned each merit badge (12 Eagle badges and 9 other badges). If you don't have complete records, the Scoutmaster has these dates.
Dates you held all leadership positions since earning Life (write in your Scout Handbook).
Eagle Service Project Workbook (get from troop Board of Review and make sure you fill it in and get all the needed signatures--verify with the District/Council Eagle Chairman that you have the latest edition, since these seem to change often).
Eagle Project Report
Eagle Scout Application
Letter of Recommendation form to give each letter writer
Letters of Recommendation
(see information on these last four items elsewhere in this booklet)

Eagle Scout Service Project

The Eagle Scout service project is different from other service projects you have done because you are now the leader. The Eagle project must meet three criteria--

It must be of significant value to the community outside of Scouting (town, church, school, etc.).
It must take considerably more time than a Star or Life project (though planning and preparation time count).
You must provide leadership to others during the project (the project idea does not have to be original, but you must be in charge; and two people cannot lead the same project).

So here's what you need to do to successfully complete the Eagle Scout Service Project--

Get the Eagle Service Project Workbook from the Board of Review.
Come up with a workable idea. This is the hardest part! Talk to the Scoutmaster and the Board of Review for help. Talk to local agencies that serve the needy, or that provide services to the elderly.
Write up a preliminary plan, showing what you will do, who it will benefit, materials needed, costs, number of people involved, etc (see Eagle Service Project Workbook).
Present your preliminary plan to the Board of Review. They will help you develop your plan into an achievable project.
Write up your plan and present it to the District/Council Eagle Chairman. Set up an appointment at his office by yourself. Don't forget the Eagle Service Project Workbook.
Get necessary donations of material. Get volunteers. Do the project. If an overnight or out-of-town trip is required, you'll need to file a BSA Local Tour Permit (get from the Scoutmaster). You and your parents are responsible to provide necessary support for the project (transportation, snacks, meals, etc.).
Keep a detailed time log of every hour you spend planning, phoning, coordinating, executing, etc. This will be useful at the Board of Review.
Take photos of the project!!! This will show the Eagle Board of Review what you have done better than words.
Throughout the process, make sure you keep the Eagle Service Project Workbook up to date, and make sure all signatures are there.
Write up a brief (half page) summary of the project to include with your Eagle application (for application requirement 5).

Scoutmaster Conference

After you have completed all merit badges, fulfilled the minimum six months as a leader, and completed your Eagle Scout service project, phone the Scoutmaster to arrange a Scoutmaster Conference. Only the Scoutmaster does Eagle conferences.

Bring your project report, Eagle Service Project Workbook, any photos, and a photocopy of the Eagle application.
At the conference, the Scoutmaster will guide you on how to complete the Eagle Scout application.

Eagle Scout Application.

Get an Eagle Scout application from the Board of Review Chairman. Make a photocopy to do your work on, and do not fill out the final application until after the Scoutmaster Conference.

The Scoutmaster will help you fill out the application at the Scoutmaster Conference.

You'll need the dates for every merit badge (the Scoutmaster can provide these if your records come up short).

You will need the names of those you want to write letters of recommendation for you (see next column).

The Scoutmaster will help you on application requirement 6 (ambitions/life purpose, positions of leadership and honors & awards).

After the Scoutmaster Conference, fill out the final application, sign it, and take it to the Committee Chairman and Scoutmaster for their signatures. The Scoutmaster (or you) will then take the application to Alaflo Council office in Dothan, where they will check all information and dates. If everything is OK, they will send the form back to the District/Council Eagle Chairman. If anything is not OK, they will send it back to the Scoutmaster for correction.

Phone the Council office after about a week to verify if your application has been sent to the District/Council Eagle Chairman. When it has, phone the troop Board of Review Chairman to alert him to set up your Eagle Board of Review.

Letters of Recommendation

The Eagle Board of Review will want five or six letters of recommendation for you. You need to select the recommenders, give them the letter of recommendation form (get this from the Board of Review), and give them a firm deadline to return the letters (about a week after the Scoutmaster Conference would be good). Either have them send the letters directly to our troop Eagle Board of Review Chairman, or collect them yourself in sealed envelopes and give them to him.

The letters should show how you have lived like an Eagle Scout in all phases of your life (home, school, church, etc). You will need recommendations from--

your parents
religious leader (minister, teacher, etc; see the Scoutmaster for guidance if you don't have a church)
school (teacher or principal who knows you well)
employer (if any)
2 others of your choice who know you well (neighbors, Scout leaders, etc)

Eagle Board of Review

After all requirements are complete, after the Scoutmaster Conference, after you have completed the paperwork, and after the ALAFLO Council has approved the application, you should call the troop Eagle Board of Review Chairman to inform him. He will arrange the date and place for the Eagle Board of Review, in consultation with the District /Council Eagle Chairman, our troop Board members, and you.

The Eagle Board of Review will include two or three troop review members familiar to you, and it will include one or more district Review members. The Council Eagle Chairman will chair the review.

The Board will ask you about your project, leadership, and how becoming an Eagle affects and changes you. This is typically the easiest review you will have (though you should make sure to review the Scout Law and Promise). The Board members will enjoy seeing the fruits of several years of Scouting in you. The Eagle Board of Review is not so much a test as it is a celebration of the completion of your long, challenging, and successful journey toward Eagle.

Eagle Court of Honor

The Eagle Court of Honor is special, and it is separate from our regular Courts of Honor. The Eagle and his family are responsible for all aspects of the ceremony--

Planning--The Scoutmaster has information about ceremonies, but there is no set way an Eagle Court of Honor must be (the inside back cover has a "typical" program, but actual program is totally up to you). The Scoutmaster normally will bring the troop flags & stands, Law/Promise candle stands, troop Eagle plaque, the Eagle presentation kit, and Eagle neckerchief. Most ceremonies have a reception afterward with a cake and punch, though some get much more elaborate.
Date/Time/Place--The Eagle and his family select a date and time, in consultation with the Scoutmaster and troop calendar. If you give the Scoutmaster enough notice, he can get the information into the troop newsletter. The ceremony can occur at our regular meeting place (or in the sanctuary or small chapel), or you can choose to have it at your church, home, yard, or other appropriate place.
Participants--You determine who will be the color guard, speakers, etc, and you are responsible to invite them and make sure they will be there. The most important guest is the one you select to "charge" the Eagle with his responsibilities as an Eagle Scout. He/she should be a person of importance in the Eagle's life. You also need to choose who will pin on the Eagle badge (often but not always a parent).

Invitations/Programs--You can purchase special Eagle invitations from the Longs Peak Council office or make your own, and have them engraved or photocopied. The Scoutmaster can provide mailing labels for all troop members, if desired. You can also buy program covers for the program, which can be photocopied on the covers. The program typically also has biographical information about the Eagle, list of accomplishments, awards, etc.

Typical Eagle Court of Honor Program

This is a simple and fairly typical program. You can get more elaborate, add music or a special touch unique to the Eagle. You may design the ceremony any way you wish, and you do not have to follow this program. At some point, the troop always presents the Eagle with a plaque from the troop ("Special Presentation"). And there are several items the Eagle receives (card, certificate, etc) that can be presented by brothers & sisters or other family members if desired.

It's nice to have a printed program . Print the date/location/title on the front cover, with biographical information and the program inside. You could also include a summary of the Eagle service project, poem, interesting statistics, etc.

It is always interesting to have photos and other Scouting memorabilia on display.

What happens to a Scout? For every 100 boys who join Scouting, records indicate that:

RARELY will one be brought before the juvenile court system
2 will become Eagle Scouts
17 will become future Scout volunteers
12 will have their first contact with a church
1 will enter the clergy
5 will earn their church award
18 will develop a hobby that will last through their adult life
8 will enter a vocation that was learned through the merit badge system
1 will use his Scouting skills to save his own life
1 will use his Scouting skills to save the life of another person

Scouting's alumni record is equally impressive. A recent nation- wide survey of high schools revealed the following information:

85% of student council presidents were Scouts
89% of senior class presidents were Scouts
80% of junior class presidents were Scouts
75% of school publication editors were Scouts
71% of football captains were Scouts

Scouts also account for:

64% of Air Force Academy graduates
68% of West Point graduates
70% of Annapolis graduates
72% of Rhodes Scholars
85% of F.B.I. agents
26 of the first 29 astronauts

When sending notes to people asking for letters of commendation, please include:

The Scout's FULL NAME (not just "Sparky" or "Jimmy" but "Samuel James Jackson" or "James Ray Morrison")
The Scout's TROOP NUMBER AND COUNCIL NAME (the Troop number is that white number on the red background on his left shoulder; the Council; the Council name appears on that patch right above it), and
A SHORT DESCRIPTION of the Eagle Scout Service Project.

Many people writing a letter to acknowledge an Eagle Scout would also like to know how the person earned the badge. This gives them more than just a "congratulations, Johnny, on your achievement" line and also can allow the letter to be a bit more personalized than boilerplate letters.

In the tables below, incumbents who will be leaving office as a result of an election, resignation, or other reasons, are shown in RED, while "Acting", "Elect", or newly appointed (but, as yet unconfirmed or installed) officials are shown in GREEN.
