Eagle Package Contents List

The following is the list of the contents expected in an eagle package (in the order suggested by council staff).  If possible, the numbered (below) sections should be separated by tabs.

 

1. Completed Eagle Scout application (2011 version or newer)

2. Statements listed in requirement 6:

·         statement of ambitions and life purpose

·         list of leadership positions/honors in community organizations (a list of leadership positions in the troop is useful, but optional)


3. Eagle Scout Service Project Proposal write-up as approved with (4) approval signatures

4. Eagle Scout Service Project Final Plan and appropriate attachments

5. Eagle Scout Service Project Report with (2) approval signatures

6. Pictures

7. Supporting documentation for Project (as appropriate)

·         sign-in/sign-out sheets 

·         time log

·         receipts

·         additional diagrams/plans

·         congratulatory/thank you letters

·         fliers

·         correspondence (letters or copies of email)


8. Other supporting information (optional)

·         Troopmaster advancement summary

·         copies of advancement or merit badge white cards

·         copies of merit badge blue cards

 

The unopened letters of reference should be attached (often clipped to the inside front cover.)   These should be added by the troop representative after the rest of the package has been assembled by the candidate (the candidate and his parents should never have access to the letters, even though unopened.) Five reference letters are required:

1.       Parent

2.       Religious

3.       Educational

4.       Friend/other

5.       Friend/other

If the candidate has a job at the time of submission of the eagle application, a (sixth) letter of reference from an employer is required.  The reference letters should match those listed on the Eagle Scout application and be no more than a year old.

 

The eagle package should be turned in at either the Deicke or Norris Scout Shop by a troop representative (not the candidate or his parents). The package must be turned in before the candidate’s 18th birthday. The scout shop will do an initial verification of the package for completeness, issue a receipt, and forward the package to the Three Fires Council office for verification.  Once verified, the package is forwarded to the district advancement chair to arrange for the Board of Review.  For candidates who have turned 18, the Board of Review must be held within 3 months of his 18th birthday.
