The BSA Guide to
Advancement clearly explains the purpose of boards of review and
provides guidance for their conduct. Section 8.0.1.0 covers boards of review
generally; section 8.0.3.0 addresses Eagle boards of review specifically.
Adults who sit on boards of review, Scoutmasters, and others involved in
Eagle advancement must be familiar with this material. Eagle candidates and their parents/guardians will also find this
material helpful in learning what to expect from the board of review. Preparing for the board of
review Council preparation (average time 20 days – often depends on
receipt of recommendation letters) Eagle packet: The
Eagle Service Desk reviews the rank application for consistency with council
records and the application and project workbook for appropriate signatures. Recommendation letters: The Eagle Service Desk holds packet materials until all
recommendation letters are received, but for no more than 30 days. Council
staff will try to contact missing references, but forwards the packet to the
district Eagle Committee chair as-is after 30 days. District preparation (average time 10 days) Eagle packet: the
Eagle Committee chair reviews the rank application and project workbook for
completeness and consistency with requirements. Any deficiencies found are
resolved before a board of review is scheduled. Board membership:
the Eagle Committee chair assigns a member of the District Eagle Committee
(as chair) and four members of the District Eagle Board, emails this
information to board members and the unit Eagle point of contact, and mails
the packet to the assigned board chair. Unit preparation (average time 10 days) The unit Eagle point of contact communicates with board members, the
Scoutmaster, and the candidate to coordinate the time and place for the board
of review. Candidate preparation What to wear:
Class A uniform according to your unit’s custom, or clean and neat in
appearance – dress appropriate for an office job interview. Eagle Project Registration: On successful completion of the board, candidates are asked to
complete an Eagle Service Project Registration Form (page 13 of the council Life to Eagle Guide), including a photo of the
project. Candidates may bring this completed form with them to the board of
review. |
