The Eagle Scout Rank Application is updated annually so Scouts (and Scouters) need to make sure they are using the most current version. This form is completed when all requirements for the rank of Eagle (except the board of review) have been completed. The NCAC Eagle Scout Procedures Guide provides detailed instructions for completing the application, having it reviewed and initialed by the District Eagle Representative, and then sent to the council service center for verification.

NCAC is required by BSA policy to verify all Eagle Scout Rank Applications prior to the Board of Review. This verification ensures that all the Scouts’ dates, requirements, and merit badges are accurate before the candidate sits for his Eagle Board of Review. This procedure reduces errors in submitted ESRAs and improves the overall processing time at the NCAC. The following document mirrors the procedures in the NCAC Eagle Scout Procedures Guide.

Navigating the Eagle Project for Beneficiaries

Jan 29, 2014 12:15 pm | clarkegreen@gmail.com (Clarke Green)

The B.S.A. has published a helpful guide - Navigating the Eagle Scout Service Project Information for Project Beneficiaries - that defines the way an Eagle Project works from the perspective of the benefiting organization.

Key elements of the process are explained :

• The Eagle Scout Rank and the Service Project
• Typical Projects
• Project Restrictions and Limitations
• Approving the Project Proposal and Project Scheduling
• Approving Final Plans
• Permits, Permissions, and Authorizations
• Supervision
• Project Completion and Approval

Much needless confusion and difficulty over the Eagle project can be avoided if everyone involved takes the time to read and understand resources about the whole process of proposing, approving and reviewing an Eagle project. The Eagle Project Workbook (must be saved to your computer and opened with Adobe Reader 9 or later to take advantage of expandable text boxes and importing images). Section 9 of the The Guide to Advancement 2013 explains exactly how the whole process works.
