Scouts BSA – Eagle Scout

We are still scheduling reviews during Covid 19 in a virtual environment instead of meeting in person at Parkway United Church of Christ. Please follow the normal procedure which is explained below.

All Eagle Scout Paperwork can be turned in online to the Greater St. Louis Area Council. Click here to find instructions to the Electronic Eagle Scout Application Process 

Eagle Extension Due to COVID-19:

Extension Request COVID-19 Form

Scouts will need to use the form attached to the email to file for an extension. Once the form is completed they will need to email the form to eagle@stlbsa.org.  Once the form is turned into the council office we will send out the form for district advancement chairs  and the council advancement chair to approve. Scouts will  receive a letter from the council office stating they have been approved for the extension. They will need to bring this letter to the council office when they turn in their Eagle application.

Please use the following link for the guideline to file for an extension https://blog.scoutingmagazine.org/2020/03/25/advancement-during-covid-19-official-details-about-eagle-extensions-and-more/?utm_source=scoutingwire&utm_campaign=swemployee412020&utm_medium=email&utm_content=

The Eagle Boards of Review meet on the first, second and fourth Wednesday of each month at Parkway United Church of Christ (2841 N. Ballas Rd.) from 7-9 p.m. Directions

NOTE:

Effective October 1, 2018, adult supervision on “all Scouting activities,” which includes Eagle Scout projects, must
consist of no less than two Youth protection trained, BSA-registered adults—both at least 21 years of age. (Source:

Scheduling a Project Proposal Review

• You will need to make sure that you are using the most current Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, it is linked to the National site here:
  Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook.
• Your proposal needs to be be reviewed and signed by the Benefiting organization representative, your Unit leader, and a Committee member.

Scheduling a Final Eagle Board of Review

Before calling, your Eagle Application will need to be signed by Council signed and returned to you.
When bringing your paperwork to Council, you will need to bring:

• Eagle Scout Application with signatures from your Unit Leader, Unit Committee Chair found here
  • Twenty-One (21) merit badge cards that are listed on the Eagle Scout Application.
  • A Statement of Ambitions and Life Purpose
  • Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook
  • Five letters of recommendation sealed in envelopes (letters should match the references on Requirement #2 of your Eagle Scout Application)

  To be fair to all scouts, appointments will be made first-come / first-serve and if you call before the necessary signatures are in place, you may be placed at the back of the line.
