ASSUMPTION:
You have completed all the requirements through Requirement 6 on the application form, AND
Your Eagle Rank Application form is filled out completely & correctly. Errors & omissions may result in cancellation of your appointment unless resolved quickly.

Step 1

Check your Scouting Profile for accuracy and completeness. This is your Individual scouting profile. Your Scoutmaster or designate can access this using the Internet Advancement facility in Scoutbook. Use it to confirm your rank and merit badges earned. Also confirm your name (first, middle, and last name) are correct along with a correct DoB – date of birth – and address. If there are errors or missing items, work with your Scoutmaster to get them corrected.

Step 2

Fill out an Eagle Rank Application form and an Advancement Report. Links are in the sidebar. You should also prepare your Statement of Ambitions & Life Purpose. For the Eagle Rank Application form, there is a function in Scoutbook that will generate a pdf file prepopulated with your known information. The Advancement Report is a BSA form. It is NOT your Scout profile or advancement record.

Step 3

Council’s verification signature: Email your application form – must be a pdf document – to our District Executive – who will arrange to get the signature and return the signed document to you. This process may take more than the 48 hour turnaround standard we had before the COVID  regulations became effective. You MUST have Council’s verification signature on your application before we can schedule your review board.

Step 4

Submit a Request for Review  – link is at the top of the sidebar. This is an online (Google) form and is the only persistent record of your request. You’ll have an opportunity later to schedule a day and time. On submitting your request, you will get an email response. Read it carefully in the event there are changes to our procedures not covered here.

Step 5

In an online folder (either GDrive or OneDrive is OK), upload the following documents:

• Eagle Rank Application form, Advancement Report (this is not your personal advancement record; see link in the sidebar), Statement of Ambitions & Life Purpose, signed copies of your Project Proposal Approvals and your Project Report Approvals.
• From the Workbook, include three separate documents. One each for the Proposal section, the Planning section, and the Report section. Include any supplemental documents or images that are in support of your project.

The Application form and the Advancement report MUST be submitted as separate pdf documents. You must include the link to your document folder when you make your appointment.

Step 6

Go to the APPOINTMENTS page on the District website and submit your appointment request. The cut off for scheduling an appointment is 6:00pm on the Wednesday preceding the week in which you are requesting an appointment.  Select a day/time that will work for you and your Adviser.

• RECOMMENDATION: Before scheduling an appointment, work with you Adviser to make sure your online folder is accessible (shareable) and the required content is complete.
• We will check the link you provide for accessibility and completeness. We will CANCEL the appointment if the link is inaccessible or the folder content is incomplete; we will let you know what needs to be remedied. Correct the issue(s) and schedule a new Appointment.
• Otherwise, you may consider that you have secured that time slot. We will contact you if circumstances change for some reason and we have to re-schedule.
