Through the Life rank, Scout advancement is handled at the troop level. From Life to Eagle, there is a larger district component, which can sometimes be confusing for Scouts and unit leaders.
The Advancement Committee is here to help Scouts navigate that process, from getting their Eagle projects approved to holding their Eagle Board of Review.
Please see this file for more details on the steps from Life to Eagle: Lackawanna District Life to Eagle Process (August 2025 revision)
The Advancement Committee also presents on this process at Scouting Updates (Roundtable) and other district events. Representatives of the Advancement Committee are also available at events like Klondike Derby to help answer questions about the Life to Eagle process.
