Eagle Scout
EagleRank.gif

Becoming an Eagle Scout is a tremendous accomplishment - it is the highest achievement one can earn as a Boy Scout. It is an achievement attained only by a very small percentage of those young men who have participated in the Boy Scout program; only 2-4% of boys who join Scouting ever achieve the rank of Eagle Scout.

While it does look good on a resume or college application, achieving the rank of Eagle Scout is much more about the journey than simply earning the patch. Along the path to becoming an Eagle Scout, a young man will learn valuable, practical skills - camping, hiking, swimming, first aid, knots, cooking, etc. He will also develop leadership skills and learn how to work as a member of a team. He will learn and appreciate the value of giving back to his community; being a good citizen.

After reaching the rank of Eagle Scout, a young man can continue to earn Eagle Palms by earning additional merit badges and staying active in the Troop.

He can also continue to lead and guide the troop or he can change his focus to helping Cub Scouts become Boy Scouts. He may become a Junior Assistant Scoutmaster, helping the Scoutmaster with projects to improve the troop. Or, he can look for worthwhile endeavors outside of scouting to which he can apply his scouting background.

Whats Involved

Eagle scout is the highest level that can be achieved as boy scouts. A scout becomes an Eagle Scout after achieving the following Scout Ranks in order:

Scout Spirit

  • Do you participate actively in all troop activities?
  • Do all the adults and Scouts treat you almost as if you were another Scoutmaster?
  • Are you involved in your school and community as a leader?
  • Do you also meet the requirements for Life, Star, First Class and Second Class?

Life to Eagle Board of Review

Life to Eagle Board of Review is done before a scout presents his Eagle Project to the Troop 693 Committee for approval.

Why have this Board of Review? To insure that a Scout is a member in good standing in the Troop and a viable candidate for Eagle Scout prior to them proceeding with their Eagle Project or completing any other Eagle Scout requirements.

What would occur at this Board of Review? At this Board of Review we would review with the Scout his character and his Scout spirit. If, in the opinion of the Board, the Scout is not fulfilling those requirements, guide and counsel him…providing him with specific things he must do or behaviors he must exhibit in order to receive the endorsement of Troop 693 as a candidate for Eagle Scout.
