**The troop webmaster and Leave No
Trace trainer positions for Troops do not appear in the new Boy Scout
Handbook, but do appear on the current Application for Eagle (effective
Jan 1, 2010). They do not appear either in the Handbook nor on
the application for Teams nor for Crews/Ships. It is assumed these are
errors and that the positions are valid for boys in Troops. Teams,
Crews, and/or Ships, since the positions are all listed under the Star
requirements (and thus are also valid for Life advancement).
Also, Troop Bugler appears in the Handbook, but not on the application.
Bugler has never before been a valid position for Eagle, even though it
has been for Star/Life. |
5. 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
should
benefit an organization other than Boy Scouting.) The project plan must
be approved by the organization benefiting from the effort, your
Scoutmaster
and troop committee and the council or district before you
start. You must use the Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project
Workbook,
BSA publication No. 18-927A, in meeting this requirement.
6. Take part in a
Scoutmaster
conference.
7. Successfully
complete
an Eagle Scout board of review.
* You must
choose only
one merit badge listed in items (g) and (j). If you have earned more
than
one of the badges listed in items (g) and (j), choose one and list the
remaining badges to make your total of 21.
Note: All requirements
must be completed
before a candidate's 18th birthday. The eagle Scout board of review can
be held after the candidate's 18th birthday.
For more
information, see Advancement
Committee Policies and Procedures, publication No. 33088B. Also see the
note below.
If you have
a permanent
physical or mental disability, you may become an Eagle Scout by
qualifying
for as many required merit badges as you can and qualifying for
alternative
merit badges for the rest. If you seek to become an eagle Scout under
this
procedure, you must submit a special application to your local council
service center. Your application must be approved by your council
advancement
committee before you can work on alternative merit badges.
The Alternate
requirements are
also listed in more detail under Eagle Scout Rank - Alternate
Requirements
on page 16 of the y2k Boy Scout Requirements book. (No. 33215C).
