Life to Eagle

Step 1:

Choose an Eagle Scout project in consultation with your Scoutmaster and the benefiting organization. Select an adult currently registered with Troop 159 to serve as your Eagle project advisor.

Step 2:

Complete the Eagle Scout Project Proposal found in the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook.

Step 3:

Schedule a preliminary proposal review with the Troop Committee.  Present your proposal to the Troop Committee (Class A uniform required).  Revise the proposal as necessary based on feedback received during the preliminary proposal review.

Step 4:

The Scout shall sign the proposal first, under the section titled ‘Candidate’s Promise’ on proposal page H of the Workbook, then obtain the required signatures on the project proposal from the benefiting organization representative, the Scoutmaster, and the Troop Committee representative.

Step 5:

Contact your District Advancement Chair to submit the approved copy of your project proposal. The advancement chair will review, and if something is missing or incomplete, they will suggest corrections. If corrections are needed, you can make the changes and then resubmit.

Step 6:

It is highly recommended that you complete the Eagle Scout Service Project Plan contained within the Workbook. This will help guide you through the project phase.

Step 7:

If the project will require more than $500 to be raised through fundraising, submit your Eagle Scout Project Fundraising Application contained withing the Workbook to the Council Service Center for approval. A fundraising application must be submitted for any and all fundraising projects in excess of $500, including crowdfunding, car washes, requesting donations or discounts from stores, etc. Projects must be approved prior to beginning any fundraising. You can submit your fundraising application electronically to the District Advancement Chair. It can also be mailed or delivered to the Council Service Center.

Step 8:

The beneficiary of your project should be aware of your work plans and schedule as you work on your project.

Step 9:

After you’ve completed your project, write your final report in the Eagle Scout Service Project Report section of the Workbook. Use your notes from your log book to help you write the report. It is recommended that someone proof read your report prior to submitting.

Step 10:

Once you’ve completed Step 8, you can request the persons listed as references in Requirement 2 on the Eagle Scout Application to complete a letter of reference. In addition, you should provide the information to whom and where to send the completed references in accordance with Troop procedures.

Step 11:

Complete and sign the Eagle Scout Application, assemble all of your documents, and obtain the required signatures from your Troop.

Step 12:

Submit the Eagle Scout Application, including the contact information page from the workbook, to the Spirit of Adventure Council Service Center for verification. You can scan and email the application to the District Advancement Chair or drop off or mail the paperwork.

Step 13:

Once your paperwork has been verified, your Eagle Board of Review will be scheduled.

Step 14:

After your Board of Review, the District Advancement representative will return the Eagle Scout Application and the contact information page to the Spirit of Adventure Council Service Center to be signed by the Scout Executive and processed.

Step 15:

Once the Council Service Center receives the Eagle Scout credentials for the Scout from the National Office, they will contact your Troop to pick up the materials.
