You’re almost ready to schedule your Eagle board of review! But first there’s some paperwork to finalize, namely:

- Prepare your “statement of ambitions and life purpose”—which, in conjunction with and in preparation for your Eagle board of review, completes requirement #7 on your journey from Life to Eagle
- Request a copy of your Individual Advancement Report from the Troop 75 Advancement Coordinator—This report is needed to prepare your Eagle Scout Rank Application
- Prepare your Eagle Scout Rank Application—This document details how you fulfilled requirement #s 1 through 7 on your journey from Life to Eagle
- Obtain a copy of your Recognition of Service Certificate—Once your service project is finished, complete the Eagle Scout Service Hours Report form and email it to the Troop 75 Advancement Coordinator, who will then prepare your Recognition of Service Certificate
Contact your Eagle Coach or the Troop 75 Advancement Coordinator with any questions. And see the Patriots Path Council Policy for Submission of Eagle Documents for more information on the above paperwork. Once these 5 documents are completed and presented to Council for review – Congratulations! You are ready to schedule (via your Eagle Coach) your Eagle board of review!
