There's a lot to do in a Life Scout's advancement to Eagle.  With school, sports, and all the other activities going on, it takes a commitment to complete all the Eagle requirements...but it's not impossible.

​

Once you have passed your Life board of review, start thinking about possible Eagle projects.  Reach out to churches, schools, charities and other organizations to ask if they need anything.  Give yourself plenty of time to complete the search, paperwork, raise money if needed, and acquire signatures.  

 

Continue working on any remaining Eagle-required merit badges.  Remember, some require at least three months to complete.
