Eagle's Nest

Troop 777 is proud to have strong history of supporting scouts in achieving the Eagle rank.

To complete the Eagle Rank, a Life Scout will need to complete an Eagle Rank Application including:

• Complete all sections of the application

• Be active in the troop for 6 months as a Life Scout

• Serve in a troop leadership position for 6 months as a Life Scout

• Earn all required merit badges (21 total = 14 Eagle required + 7 others)

• Obtain Eagle Scout recommendations

• Provide a Personal Statement of Ambitions / Life Goals

• Complete and document an Eagle Scout Project

• Complete an Eagle rank Scoutmaster Conference

When the above are completed, an Eagle Board of Review is scheduled. Upon successful completion of this Board of Review, the Scout will be granted the rank of Eagle Scout. Please contact the Scoutmaster for details on the process, as our troop has a well developed process for supporting the Life to Eagle progression. The essential information and paperwork for Eagle candidate can be found on the SDIC website "Eagles Nest".

Eagle Project Coaches/Council Proposal Approval Representative

The Eagle Project is a key element of the Eagle Rank requirements. A summary of the steps:

1. Research options for a possible Eagle Project. During your research, it's fine to contact beneficiaries (who the project is done for and will sign off on the project), the Scoutmaster or other adult scout leaders.

2. Once you have a good idea of a potential project, talk to the Scoutmaster for advice on whether the project is appropriately targeted and scaled.

3. With initial concurrence on the project idea, you should engage an Eagle Project counselor. The full list of Eagle Project Counselors may be found here on the San Diego Imperial Council website. (Note: Troop 777 is in the Rancho San Luis Rey (RSLR) Zone). Each counselor listed may also signed off on Eagle project documentation as a designated BSA representative.

Eagle Candidates will also need signoffs from the Scoutmaster and Troop Committee Chair for their Eagle Project Proposal, Eagle Project Report, and Eagle Rank Application:
