Decision
10.1.2.7. Special-needs Eagle candidates aged 18 or over
Optional May not apply
Individuals 18 and older who have been properly approved by the council executive board or its designated committee to register beyond the age of eligibility may apply for the Eagle Scout rank. They are considered youth members for as long as they are so registered.
Notes and warnings
Note. They are considered youth members for as long as they remain registered beyond the age of eligibility, which is why no extension and no special permission are needed. If a candidate is not so registered but should be, follow 10.2.0.0 first. Work completed during a gap in registration may be credited, with council approval.
