Eagle Project Packet
The Eagle Packet Consists of:
Eagle Scout Application
- 2004, or later revision printing. Required in original and 3 copies
- Read all instructions carefully
- Print or type the information legibly
- When entering all dates, be sure to enter month, day, and year (two digits each, 12/06/01 for example)
- List only the 21 merit badges that are required. For numbers 6 and 9, cross those not earned. If any of those crossed off were earned, they can be entered in numbers 13 through 21, or later, on an Eagle Palm application.
- Enter optional merit badges (numbers 13 through 21) in the order in which they were earned to satisfy Star, Life and Eagle.
- Do not enter merit badges earned later on because they "look better". This can cause problems when the Star and Life dates are verified.
- For requirement No. 4, list only the position(s) served actively for six months or more after the Life Board of Review date.
Eagle Service Project Workbook
- Original and 3 copies, all signed by the project beneficiary representative, the Scoutmaster or Crew Advisor, the Unit’s Committee Chairperson, and the District Advancement Chairperson.
- Make sure it is completely filled out and that you use the official South Florida Council format.
- Your Project Workbook is a narrative description of your Eagle Service Project that should show, beyond question, that you personally planned, developed, and gave LEADERSHIP to others.
- It should be typed, with good grammar, spelling and punctuation
- Photos and/or drawings may be pasted, attached or merged. Color illustrations in the original do not have to be reproduced, in color, for the 3 copies
Here are some suggestions on what to include in the narrative:
- What was accomplished?
- How were things done? When?
- What plans that you had made did not work? Why? What changes in your operation did you then have to make?
- Who worked on what, in what capacity, and how many hours did each spend? (Give actual names of the workers, including adults or youth, whether Scouts or not)
- What materials, if any, were used? What were the actual costs involved? Who paid for these costs or were they donated and by who?
- What kind of things did you do to assure the safety of the workers? Were there any accidents?
- How did YOU demonstrate leadership?
- What did you personally learn from this experience?
- What are your total hours, from the planning stages, through your final written Eagle Service Project Report?

Parents or Troops can have a flag or flags flown over the Capital on the day a Scout becomes an Eagle. There is a fee, because you are actually purchasing the flag. A flag flown in their name and honor over the Capital of the United States on the day they become an Eagle is a real honor and keep sake. The request for this honor needs to be made in a timely manner and a certificate will be issued as well.
