District Eagle Scouts in 2021

We are proud to announce that the Old Ephraim district had 43 Eagle Scouts for the year 2021! The Eagle Scout Coordinators could not have done it without the district Advancement Committee.
  • We call on them to help with all the Eagle Scout Board of Reviews
  • We ask them to help in approving Eagle Scout Projects.
  • They help educate units with advancement.
  • They have helped scouts who have been left behind when the massive change took place.
  • This last year we had to say good-bye to a great scouter who is greatly missed due to Covid-19.
We love the scouting program and what it makes of the youth & their leaders!
 
Here are a few reminders as we head into the New Year of 2022!
  • Eagle Scout Boards of Review are held twice each month on the first Tuesday and the third Thursday. 
    • Boards start at 6 pm and there may be up to three in an evening
    • Eagle Scout Boards of Review are only scheduled after all of the documents the scout needs for their Eagle Scout Board of Review have been received
    • Unit leaders and parents are notified when the Board of Review will take place and invite them to be there as a support
  • When approving Eagle Scout projects, two to three people review the project. 
    • Scouts should use the Eagle Scout workbook (Jan 2021) and send it by email to be approved
    • It takes a few days to look over all aspects of each project. Sometimes revisions are needed
    • Each project should be typed for several reasons
      • First, it makes it easier to read for those who review it, and changes are easier to make when needed.
      • Second, each Eagle Scout project plan is saved until the Eagle Scout Board of Review
  • Remember that Eagle Scout applications can be filled out right in Scoutbook
    • All pertinent  information in Scoutbook will be automatically filled in on the application.
    • This also gives the unit, council office and the Eagle Scout Coordinators a nice clean copy to scan and send to the National office after the scout's Eagle Scout Board of Review
