**NEW** - Life to Eagle Procedures Guide

Over the last two years it has become evident how challenging with the Life to Eagle process can be.  From the project approval to the Eagle BOR there has a number of instances with there was missing paperwork, missed timelines, missing signatures, etc.  In an attempt to simplify the process and standardize the Life to Eagle process across the state, we have written a Life to Eagle Procedure Guide that will help to navigate the Scout, his parents, his Scoutmaster through the Life to Eagle paperwork trail.  

This document is a work in progress.  We want your feedback as we work to make this process less stressful for everyone involved.  If you have feedback, please contact Ken Bell @ [email protected].
