In order to become an Eagle Scout, one must have first earned Life Scout rank, be active in his or her troop for a period of at least six months as a Life Scout and serve in a position. As a Life Scout, one should demonstrate Scout spirit by living the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Scouts then must have earned a total of 21 merit badges (10 more than required for the Life rank), including 13 specific merit badges. Scouts plan and prepare a project that must be approved by their Scoutmaster and then by their council. Finally, once the Eagle Scout Project is completed, the Scout participates in an Eagle Scout Board of Review.
Eagle Scouts must exhibit superior Leadership, ethics, and responsible behavior over their years in the Troop to earn the title of Eagle. Their achievement is recognized by corporations and the military as a testimony to their remarkable record of setting goals, planning, and finishing their objectives.
