Several other helpful documents are also available on this website for your use. They are:

1. 2005 Eagle Scout Project Approval Checklist (.doc) (.pdf) This is a checklist for Project Approval that 1 to 4 adults will use to evaluate your Eagle Project and Details write-up. All areas on this checklist must be completely covered and included in your Details write-up. Read it slowly – you will gain a good understanding of what is involved in the write-up of your Project.

2. Eagle Scout Process Checklist (Mar 2005) (.doc)includes 27 steps from the point of deciding that you want to become an Eagle Scout after achieving your Life Rank to the point of achieving this rank at the Eagle Scout Board of Review.

3. 2005 Eagle Congratulatory Letter List (.doc) (.pdf) - Here is a list of names and addresses of those in all walks of life that would be glad to write a letter of congratulations to place in your notebook for your Eagle Scout Court of Honor.

Please call Mr. Albert (210-342-7710) to schedule your Project Approval or Board of Review after all of the following requirements are in place:

Eagle Project Concept Only - You must have the person’s name and number from the organization you want to do the project for. This is the person you coordinated with to ensure that it is a project that they want. You should have preliminary approval of your Scoutmaster for the concept, and you need preliminary sketches of what the project will look like.

Project Approval - All signatures in the project workbook must be obtained.

Eagle Board of Review - The 5 or 6 reference letters must be obtained and match to those listed on the Eagle Scout Rank Application. Also, all signatures must be obtained on the application, including the Registrar’s signature (from the Council Service Center).

Additionally,

Project or Concept Approval - Wear your full Field Uniform (commonly referred to as Class A) including the Merit Badge sash. Do NOT wear the OA sash. Bring two additional copies of your write-up, in addition to the original. Bring paper and pen/pencil. Do not be upset if your project is not approved on the first try. We are here to help you. Suggestions will be made as to what you need to add or change to make your project able to be approved. We will recommend changes that will aid you in succeeding with your project.

Eagle Board of Review - Wear your full Field Uniform, including the Merit Badge sash. Do NOT wear the OA sash.

Bring four copies of your project write-up in addition the original. Include copies of the Eagle Scout Rank Application and Accomplishments and Life Ambition Statement. (part VI of the Eagle Application). Each member of the Board may request to keep a copy. Bring your Scout Handbook with the Eagle Rank page properly filled out and ready for the signatures from the Board members. Make sure that your Scoutmaster knows he/she is to present you before the board and that one or two members from your Troop committee must serve on your Board. Make sure that your Scoutmaster or a member of your Troop Committee is bringing your Eagle Reference Letters.

When you come to Coker United Methodist Church for Project Approval or Eagle Board of Review, please sign in at the registration table. Things may seem chaotic for the first 10-15 minutes. Everyone tends to arrive at once. It takes a few minutes for everyone to sign in and then determine which adults are trained to chair the Boards. Your Board will not meet until your Scoutmaster arrives with your Eagle Reference Letters and at least one representative from your Troop Committee is present. When the Board is assembled, they will meet in a designated room and will spend 20-30 minutes reviewing the Reference Letters and the Project itself. You will then be escorted by your Scoutmaster or Troop Committee Member and introduced to the Board. Take a deep breath, relax, and be yourself.

Those waiting for Project Approval will then have their projects reviewed. Project Approvals may be done in shifts, depending upon the number of adult volunteers available.
