When you go for your Scoutmaster conference, you should take all the remaining paperwork with you.  

• You should have already confirmed that your Scoutmaster has received all six reference letters.  

• You should have completed the project write-up.  Take it with you and give it to your Scoutmaster.

• At the end of the workbook document there is an Eagle Project Summary form.  Fill this out and take it with you to your Scoutmaster conference.  It does not need to be in the project book since all of the information is copied from other pages in the book.  Do not expand this form beyond 1 page.

• The "Request for an Eagle Scout Application" describes a statement you need to write for requirement 6.  Be sure there is a copy of this statement in your project book and another copy to give to your Scoutmaster.

• You should have downloaded and filled out the "Request for an Eagle Scout Rank Application".  Fill in the scheduled date of your Scoutmaster conference.

• The "Request for an Eagle Scout Rank Application" instructions list several items that should be attached to this request.  Be sure that you have prepared or gotten all these items.

After your Scoutmaster conference, your Scoutmaster will sign your "Request for an Eagle Scout Rank Application".  You or your Scoutmaster should then deliver or mail the Request and the attachments to the Council Office.  They will enter the information from that form into the ScoutNet computer system and verify all the data.  The Council Office will then print out the official "Verified Eagle Rank Application" form with all the data printed on it.  The printed form will be mailed to you.

On the first page of the Application, you will need to fill in the information about the people who wrote your 6 references.  On the second page you need to sign the application, and then get your Scoutmaster and Committee Chairman to sign.  After all these signatures are on the application, it should go to your Scoutmaster, or the adult leader who has the Workbook and reference letters.  That leader should deliver the verified and signed application, completed Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook, and the references, to the person who will be responsible for chairing your Eagle Scout board of review. The national advancement policies and procedures do not allow you deliver the reference letters.  They also do not allow the board of review to be scheduled until the paperwork is in the hands of the board chair.

After the paperwork has been submitted, your Scoutmaster should contact the board chair and schedule your board of review.

NOTE: If you are turning 18, all the requirements through the Scoutmaster conference, including all the paperwork, must be completed BEFORE your 18th birthday.  The paperwork must then be submitted promptly to the Council office.  Your board of review can be scheduled up to 3 months after your 18th birthday, or 6 months in special cases.

If there are any questions about procedures at any time, contact your Scoutmaster or your District Advancement Chairman.

NOTE: The above description specifically refers to handling the paperwork in the Chester County Council, BSA.  Check with your Council, District, or Troop for instructions on how to submit your paperwork in other Councils.
