Eagle Scout Resources
Here are some resources you need to help you along the rugged path to Eagle Scout (PDF files).
[HINT—Print these out and read them before you start your Eagle service project, or better right after you pass your Life Scout Board of Review.]
Standard Paperwork
- BSA Eagle Rank Application & BSA Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook (on the Longs Peak Council's 'forms' page—Look on the "Eagle Scout" list under "Boy Scout Forms"). You'll need to fill out the 'workbook' as you go along, and get signatures from Scoutmaster, troop committee chairman, district Eagle chairman, and person in charge of the agency where you are doing your Eagle service project)
- There is also helpful Eagle Advancement Information for our local Bighorn (former Cache La Poudre) district. Be sure to use the Longs Peak Council "Eagle Scout Candidate's Guidebook".
Addtional Legal Paperwork REQUIRED for your Eagle Service Project
- You must get a signed permission form from every youth (under-18) participant, whether or not they are a Scout. There is a template on the T97 Member Only page.
- [Note that BSA has eliminated the "tour plan".]
