5) A minimum of three original letters of recommendation.

6) Three copies or requirement 6, statement of ambition.

Attach to this application a statement of your ambitions, life purpose and a listing of positions held in your religious institution, school, camp, community, or other organizations during which you demonstrated leadership skills. Include honors and awards received during this service. Take part in a Scoutmaster conference with your unit leader. 

Let's look at this single requirement in the two parts it really is. First, your statement; this is very straight forward, what are your dreams what do you strive to accomplish with your life.  This is an excellent opportunity for you to tell members of your board of review what you do outside Scouting. The statement will reveal who you have become in several ways. Success in Scouting usually extends to other areas of life. This is especially true of Eagle candidates, since you have actually developed character which demonstrates the Scout Oath and Law in everything you do. 

Don't be shy about bragging! List it all! Most Scouts don't reflect on this well enough to consider all the things they do and have accomplished. It is key in helping you all your life - establishing a good self-esteem.

List all the various awards and honors you've achieved along the way. These may be a medal, plaque, or certificate, but could also be a different types of honors, for example

A letter from a principal or volunteer organization recognizing your contributions. 

A letter from an elected official thanking you for being their assistant (like a Page) for a season. 

A newspaper article mentioning you. If it made you feel honored, it counts!
