Eagle-required badges signed off by a parent/councilor, is a red flag at the Eagle Board of Review, and will be questioned. Some troops insist on outside councilors. Some, if badge is offered and taken as a ‘troop badge’, allow the practice.

An average Eagle Project is 120 hrs.

Eagle scouts are expected to be very active in the troop, show Scout Spirit, and are expected to continue to serve the Troop a minimum of six months after becoming an Eagle. Most serve a year or more. The Scout Master, weighing the opinions of the Assistant Scout Masters, and in agreement with the Review Board, should all recommend the candidate.
