1. Scout works with the Scoutmaster and the beneficiary to develop a proposal using the current Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook
  2. Scout works with the beneficiary, Scoutmaster, and Committee Chair to have the proposal completed and approved.
  3. Once the proposal form is complete and signed, the Scout sends an email to OrionAdvancements@gmail.com requesting a project review, including the following:
    • Scout’s Name
    • Scout’s Birthday
    • Life Board of Review Date
    • PDF of Eagle proposal with all parts filled in (attach pages if boxes do not adjust automatically)
    • Clear scan of signature page with beneficiary, Scoutmaster, and Committee Chair ink signatures. Digital signatures are not accepted.
    • Any information related to a need to expedite the process (such as a specific date the project must be done, Scout turning 18, etc.)
  4. Orion Advancement Chair logs and assigns to an approved District Eagle Committee member
  5. District Eagle Committee member contacts Scout to schedule proposal review
  6. District Eagle Committee reviews project proposal with Scout
    • If NOT APPROVED: Scout reworks proposal with Scoutmaster’s help and resubmits to District Eagle Committee for review
  7. If a fundraising application is required, the scout submits the form included with the project workbook, signed by all parties, to the District Eagle Committee member who approved the project proposal. (PLEASE NOTE: Longhorn Council has prohibited the use of any crowd sourcing, such as GoFundMe accounts. Similar fundraising methods where donations cannot be tracked or a youth is expected to handle tax liability are prohibited.)
  8. Eagle Project Coach is assigned by the District Eagle Committee member, and the Scout is approved to start the project

This process is executed entirely by volunteers. Please allow sufficient time to process and schedule project reviews. It is our goal to respond to all youth requests within 7 days of submission. Youth who are time-limited due to age will be processed before youth who are not.

All concerns, questions, and grievances should be addressed to OrionAdvancements@gmail.com.
