Message From the Chief Scout Executive

Congratulations on attaining the rank of Life Scout. Each year, approximately 57,000 Scouts just like you reach this milestone.

Think of your Eagle Scout service project as the ultimate “application phase” of what you have learned thus far in Scouting: leadership, responsibility, managing projects, and helping other people.

Keep striving. I know you will cross it, and you will be glad you did!

Wayne Brock
Chief Scout Executive

Completion Approvals

Message to Scouts and Parents or Guardians

The Eagle Scout service project requirement has been widely interpreted—both properly and improperly. This message is designed to share the same information provided to council and district volunteers responsible for project approvals.

The candidate and parent or guardian should consult the Guide to Advancement, beginning with section 9.0.2.0.

What an Eagle Scout Candidate Should Expect

Project expectations will match Eagle Scout requirement 5, and the candidate will not be required to include more than described in the workbook.

Excerpts and Summaries From the Guide to Advancement

Coaches are highly recommended and can help with planning. “Others” means at least two people in addition to the Scout. Projects are evaluated primarily on impact and leadership.

Risk management and safety procedures should follow the Guide to Safe Scouting.
