Below are the instructions for handling eagle application submission and obtaining eagle project approvals.

Greetings District Scouts and Scouters,

During the time that we are practicing social distancing, we will not be holding in-person boards of review, project approvals, and paperwork turn-ins. Instead, we will be using an online process.  Some project approvals and boards of review can be done in-person with prior approval.  You would need to make an appointment. Please email the appropriate people listed below.

PROJECT APPROVALS:

• Please download the workbook from https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/512-927_fillable.pdf to your computer.  Then edit it on your computer and save it. —OR— print a paper copy of the workbook, fill it out and scan the papers to a file.  You MUST use Adobe Acrobat Reader to be able to edit this pdf.

• For required signatures, you may place digital signatures or attach a scanned copy of inked signatures on a paper form.

• Send your project PDF file to our Eagle Service Project Coordinators at eagle-projects@madscience.zone for approval.  Always CC: another adult in all email correspondence to comply with youth protection guidelines.

EAGLE RANK ADVANCEMENTS:

• Please download the application from https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/512-728_WB_fillable.pdf to your computer.  Then edit it on your computer and save it. —OR— print a paper copy of the application, fill it out, and scan the papers to a file.  You MUST use Adobe Acrobat Reader to be able to edit this pdf.

• For required signatures on the application and project workbook, you may place digital signatures or attach a scanned copy of inked signatures on a paper form.

• Write a statement of ambitions and life purposes as described on page 2 of the application form and save it to a file (or scan a paper document if needed).

• While working on your eagle project, complete the PDF workbook. Scan and save in file(s) any extra photographs and other materials you would like to show the board of review about your project’s details.

• Send an email to  eagle@madscience.zone, introducing yourself and stating that you wish to have a board of review. Attach all of the above documents, including all sections of your project workbook.  Always CC: another adult in all email correspondence to comply with youth protection guidelines.

• Identify 3–5 references who are willing to write letters of recommendation for you.  They may be the same people listed as references on your applications, or they may be different people, but should represent the same sampling of relationships with you (e.g., parent, scout leader, school teacher/administrator, neighbor, religious contact, etc.) Ask that they submit their letters of recommendation to eagle-reference@madscience.zone, not to you personally.

• We will be in contact to advise you through the remaining steps to have your board of review.

Boards of review will be conducted via video conference until further notice.
