Eagle Scout Project and Rank


The Eagle Scout rank is the pinnacle of the Boy Scout ranks.  It is a challenging and significant personal lifetime achievement.  All the Eagle Scout requirements must be completed before a scout's 18th birthday.  The final requirement is the Eagle Scout service project.  Experience suggests that it usually takes about 6 months to plan and complete the project and the Eagle application materials.  It can be done faster, but general advice is start earlier and don't back yourself into a corner with the hard deadline of the 18th birthday.   This page is to provide information and resources to help scouts to understand and manage the steps to reaching the Eagle's Nest.   It is a work in process, feel free to make suggestions.
