Life to Eagle

When a Scout or Venturer earns Life Rank they begin to work on the remaining requirements for the Eagle Scout Rank. Troops/Crews should assign a mentor, e.g., Assistant Scoutmaster, Troop Committee Chair, Crew Advancement Chair, etc., to mentor and "enable" the Scout or Venturer through the remaining requirements for the Eagle Scout Rank.

LIFE TO EAGLE INFORMATION TO READ PRIOR TO STARTING:

  1. Letter to Parents of Life Scout

  2. Letter to Life Scout

  3. Important Information for Life Scouts and Their Unit Leaders (Council Eagle Scout Processing Policy)

Troops/Crews are encouraged to call/e-mail the District Advancement Chair to coordinate a Life to Eagle Seminar for its Scouts/Venturers, Scouters, and parents. The seminar will outline the policies and procedures for completing the requirements for the Eagle Scout Rank.

EAGLE SCOUT LEADERSHIP SERVICE PROJECT

The Scoutmaster, entire Troop/Crew Committee, and the District Advancement Chair must approve Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project plan before any work can begin toward the project.

The Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook must be used to document plan and all work accomplished during execution of Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project. Contact the District Advancement Chair to make arrangements for a review of Scout's/Venturer's Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project plan. Also please consult the SAFE Project Tool Use guide for policies regarding what tools are safe to handle by each age group.


EAGLE BOARD OF REVIEW

The District Advancement Chair will schedule the Eagle Scout Board of Review only after confirmation from Far East Council that all required paperwork, e.g., Eagle Scout Rank Application, Letters of Recommendation, Statement of Ambitions, Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook, etc. are complete with all required signatures.

FILLABLE FORMS:

  1. Letter of Recommendation (Requirement 2 on Eagle Application)

  2. Statement of Life Ambitions (Requirement 6 on Eagle Application)
