Board of Review
The work is done, you have completed the tasks, you are prepared, time to finish.
Bring to the board of review (CURRENTLY - All Eagle Boards of Review are being done via video conference)
Your signed, completed Scout Handbook (only missing the final signatures on the Eagle Scout Rank page) IF in person
Your Eagle Coordinator will receive your verified Eagle Scout Application form from the Council Advancement Chair.
You will need to have sent all documents from the previous page to the Eagle Coordinator prior to Eagle Coordinator scheduling your Eagle Board.
Wear your Full troop uniform including merit badge sash with all your merit badges sewn on.
Be accompanied by a Unit Leader for your introduction. (Parents are welcome at the beginning and the end of the Eagle board)
Unit Leaders may also talk about the unit program, and your Scouting journey, not just the Eagle process.
No two review boards are the same, and it’s entirely possible that what you experience is not necessarily what you were expecting . . . and this is meant in a positive sense.
For board of review to be approved, the candidate’s review board chair is responsible for submitting a fully signed application form to the Registrar for the Council and National to process. It is usual to send a copy of the signed form to the Scout, their advisor, and scoutmaster – this list may vary from District to District.
On verification of the application, the National Office sends a Scout’s Certificate to the Council’s office, where it becomes the responsibility of the appropriate District Executive to deliver it to the scoutmaster.
Your board has a responsibility to make sure they are satisfied you meet all the criteria associated with someone worthy of being called an Eagle Scout. There are no trick questions, there’s no re-testing. There will be challenging questions so…
BE PREPARED!
