Notes
AGE REQUIREMENT ELIGIBILITY. Merit
badges, badges of rank, and Eagle Palms may be earned by a registered
Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, or Venturer. He may earn these awards
until his 18th birthday. Any Venturer who achieved the First
Class rank as a Boy Scout in a troop or Varsity Scout in a team may
continue working for the Star, Life, and Eagle Scout ranks and Eagle
Palms while registered as a Venturer up to his 18th birthday.
Scouts and Venturers who have completed all requirements prior to their
18th birthday may be reviewed within three months after that date with
no explanation. Boards of review conducted between three and
six months after the candidate's 18th birthday must be preapproved by
the local council. A statement by an adult explaining the reason for the
delay must be attached to the Eagle Scout Rank Application when it is
submitted to the Eagle Scout Service. The Eagle Scout Service at
the national office must be contacted for procedures to follow if a
board of review is to be conducted more than six months after a
candidate's 18th birthday.
If you have a permanent physical or mental
disability, you may become an Eagle Scout by qualifying for as many
required merit badges as you can and qualifying for alternative merit
badges for the rest. If you seek to become an Eagle Scout under this
procedure, you must submit a special application to your local council
service center. Your application must be approved by your council
advancement committee before you can work on alternative merit
badges.
A Scout or Venturer with a
disability may work toward rank advancement after he is 18 years of age
if he meets the guidelines outlined in the Advancement and
Recognition Policies and Procedures.

provides a number of online resources to assist Scouts in earning the
Eagle rank — including an electronic version of the Eagle Scout Rank

Note: All requirements must be completed before a candidate's 18th
birthday. The Eagle Scout board of review can be held after the
candidate's 18th birthday. For more information, see Advancement
Committee Policies and Procedures, publication No. 33088D.
