Eagle Project Proposals:
Your project proposal is to be written using the "Atlanta Area Council Life to Eagle Guidebook". Be sure to
use the checklists in the back of this "RED" book.
Eagle project proposals will be reviewed by the District Advancement Committee from 7:00 to 8:00 pm. For
presentations to the Advancement Committee, please bring the original as well as four additional copies of
your proposal. Proposals will be returned to Eagle candidates within two weeks. Projects that are
satisfactory could be returned the same day.
Eagle Boards of Review:
Boards of Review are held from 8:00 to 9:30 pm. It is advisable to arrive fifteen minutes early for all
Boards of Review.
The Eagle Candidate is responsible to schedule his Board. He is responsible to invite his Scoutmaster
for introductions and to have a minimum of two (2) Committee members present as part of his Board.
The Candidate can have a maximum of three (3), which could include his pastor, teacher, coach or
other leader to round out his Board.
The Troop Committee members must have Troop Advancement verification, the original Council
verified Eagle application and sealed letters. There should be at least five (5) complete copies so that
each Board member will have a personal copy to review.
Both Eagle Scout Candidates and all Scouters should be in full field uniform. The Eagle Candidate does
have the option of dressing in a business suit.
Parents are encouraged to accompany the Candidate for support after the review.
