Eagle Scouts
The Trail to Eagle
In the Three River's District the trail to Eagle begins with a meeting with the Eagle Board. All Eagle Scout Candidates must meet with the Eagle Board before they can ask for a appointment to have a project approved. During this initial meeting, the Scout will receive instruction, guidance and all the necessary forms to help them on the trail to Eagle.
To set up a meeting with the Eagle Board, please contact ??
The Boy Scout plans his advancement and progresses at his own pace as he meets each challenge. The Boy Scout is rewarded for each achievement, which helps him gain self-confidence. The steps in the advancement system help a Boy Scout grow in self-reliance and in the ability to help others. When you’ve finished all the requirements for a rank, make an appt with the Scoutmaster for a Scoutmaster’s Conference and then with the Advancement Team for a Board of Review.
First is Scout, then Tenderfoot Rank, Second Class Rank, and First Class Rank. The requirements for these ranks are the basic scout and camping skills. They can be worked on simultaneously and we often see a scout receiving 2 or more of these ranks in one Court of Honor. A motivated scout canmake it to First Class in under a year. Camping is an important part of this since many sign-off’s are camping related.
The upper ranks are Star, Life and finally Eagle . The higher ranks have time requirements, Merit Badge requirements and leadership requirements. After making Star rank, the Life and Eagle ranks typically take a a few years each, but can be completed in less time by a motivated scout.

The fact that a boy is an Eagle Scout has always carried a special significance not only in Scouting, but also as he enters higher education, business or industry, and community service. The award is a performance-based achievement in which standards have been well-maintained over the years. Not every boy who joins a Boy Scout troop earns the
Eagle Scout rank; only about 5 percent of all Boy Scouts do so. The goals of Scouting—citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness—remain important for all Scouts, whether or not they attain the Eagle Scout rank.
