Your Eagle Scout Scoutmaster Conference

The good news is that your Eagle Scout Scoutmaster conference is almost like any other Scoutmaster conference you had on the way to becoming an Eagle candidate. But ....

There are a couple extra requirements before this particular Scoutmaster conference: 

• IF your Scoutmaster has not yet reviewed your Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, that will be done during your Eagle Scout Scoutmaster conference. 
  • The name of your project, the completion date (the date the beneficiary signed), and the total number of hours you and your project team put in will be reviewed for completeness and accuracy. 
  • This would be a good time for the Scoutmaster to sign this workbook if it has not been done previously!
• This is the first time you have had to fill out an application to become a specific rank!
  • You have to fill out an Eagle Scout Rank Application in order to become an Eagle Scout. 
    • This document is to be reviewed by you and your Scoutmaster during your Eagle Scoutmaster Conference. 
  • When you fill out this document, it must be both complete and perfect! 
    • It is going to eventually be reviewed by: 
      • Your Scoutmaster
      • Your Committee Chair
      • Your District
      • Your Council
      • Your District Eagle Board of Review 
      • Your Council (again!) 
      • And ... BSA National!
    • At any point, if it is not complete and perfect, it will be returned to you in order to resolve any issues. 
  • To assist you in correctly completing this application, you should have already read the article called Eagle Scout Rank Application. 
• Your Scoutmaster will review your participation and leadership since you became a Life Scout.  
• Your Scoutmaster will remind you that you need to write two extra documents to prepare for your Eagle Scout Board of Review, but your Scoutmaster is not allowed to review them prior to your submitting them at your Eagle Scout Board of Review (BSA rules). 
  • These two documents are specified just before your signature on P2 of your Eagle Scout Rank Application: 
    • Your "life essay", and 
    • Your "list of leadership and awards"
      
  • It is strongly suggested that each should be no more than one page if at all possible. 
• You should have signature information pre-filled on the application:
  • Date of the Scoutmaster conference
  • Phone numbers for you, your Scoutmaster, and your Committee Chair

Other than these items, this is just like any other Scoutmaster conference. Be sure to make any changes in the above materials requested by your Scoutmaster before you request an Eagle Scout Board of Review. 

The Eagle Scout Board of Review is done by the District, not by your Troop. Once your Eagle Scout Scoutmaster conference is complete, and all three people (you, your Scoutmaster, and your Committee Chair) have signed, you should request an Eagle Scout Board of review by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots.
