Eagle Scout Rank
Since 1912, the Eagle Scout rank has represented a milestone of accomplishment—perhaps without equal—that is recognized across the country and even the world. Those who have earned the Eagle Scout rank count it among their most treasured achievements. “Eagle Scout” is not just an award; it is a state of being. Those who earned it as youth continue to earn it every day as adults. That is why an Eagle Scout IS an Eagle Scout—not was.
The following links are helpful for preparing and submitting the Eagle Scout Rank Application and accompanying materials.
Download and complete the Eagle Scout Project Workbook from the national office. Remember: Do not begin any work on your project, or raise any money, or obtain any materials, until your project proposal has been approved.
