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.
