Requirement · part of 5.0.4.0. Any rank up to, but NOT including, Eagle Scout

5.0.4.0. Because Eagle is not equivalent to any other association's rank

Required May not apply

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Where did the advancement come from?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

The Guide gives the reason rather than leaving it as a rule: Eagle Scout is not considered equivalent to the highest award of any other Scouting association, so there is no award anywhere that can be exchanged for it.

Where this step comes from

Guide to Advancement (2025), Section 5.0.4.0 · Eagle Scout is not considered equivalent to any other association's rank.
