—- New Eagle Project Workbook
The new BSA Advancement Guidelines (BSA Publication #33088) state that the NEW Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook must be used. During the Fall of 2011, we had the option of accepting the old or new version of the workbook, but as of January 1, 2012, ONLY the new workbook will be accepted for new Eagle Service Projects. In addition, the Board will no longer accept “homemade” workbooks.
“9.0.1.2 Prepare the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook
The most current workbook must be used. It can be found at http://www.scouting.org/forms.aspx. The workbook shows the project proposal was approved ahead of time, and then properly accepted by all parties when finished. Ideally, it will be a proud reminder of a significant accomplishment.“
Several applications have been seen recently that were completed in pencil. This reflects poorly on the candidate. The “fillable PDF” is the preferred method, but pen and ink is also accepted.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me. (eaglereeves@gmail.com or liam.mcpherson@live.com).
