Requirement
Eagle Palm Requirements. Requirement 2: continue to set a satisfactory example
Required Often forgotten Repeats
ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY OR DEMONSTRATING LEADERSHIP ABILITY, and the "or" is in the requirement. No position of responsibility is named and no term of office is set, which makes this the least like the Star and Life requirement it resembles.
Notes and warnings
Warning. READ THE "OR". The requirement is to continue to set a satisfactory example of accepting responsibility OR demonstrating leadership ability. Both routes are open and only one is needed. THIS IS NOT THE STAR AND LIFE POSITION OF RESPONSIBILITY REQUIREMENT wearing different clothes: no position is named, no list of approved positions applies, and no term of office is set. Accepting responsibility covers a great deal that never appears on a troop roster.
