See the new Eagle Procedures Guide 2006 located at: http://www.boyscouts-ncac.org/documents.cfm?documentID=1843. For those of you who might want details, see the following which comes from the BSA NCAC web site which is arrived at via http://www.boyscouts-ncac.org under Home/About Us/Council Committees/Advancement (obscure location).
The "Eagle Procedures Guide" is for the adult leaders who are working with Life Scouts working to earn their Eagle rank. Unit leaders should share the contents of this guide with each Eagle candidate so that he fully understands the procedures which must be followed. The purpose of this guide is to address commonly asked questions and issues encountered in completing the "12 Steps From Life to Eagle Rank." It is not intended to answer all questions. If a unit leader or an Eagle candidate is unsure of a particular step or requirement, do not hesitate to call your District Advancement Chairman. The guide describes the 12 steps from Life to Eagle. The "Eagle Procedures Guide" has been updated and can be downloaded [as described above]. Please note that this is a large file (1.03 MB) that may take a few minutes to download.

Thank you.
John Millikin
