Eagle Board of Review Schedules

Hendricks/Marion County Boards 

All Eagle binders need to be turned in by the 20th of the month to make the cutoff for the following month's eagle boards.

Scouts will receive an email letting them know that they have been approved to receive their Eagle Board of Review. Eagle Boards are done once a month on the 3rd Wednesday of each month. Some months we may have to split the boards because of weather or the number of Eagle candidates.  

Boone, Clinton, and Montgomery Counties

The county Eagle Board chairs will contact the Eagle candidate to let them know when they have arranged the youth's Eagle board of review panel. 

Eagle Board Recruits and Assigns 

(This is how Eagle boards are built and how the Eagle candidate will be contacted)

Hendricks and Marion Counties

The Eagle candidate is emailed with the youth's parent and scoutmaster cc'd on the email. They are asked to RSVP if they will be attending that month's Eagle boards. 

The Eagle candidate is asked to bring 3 adults over the age of 21 with them to the board. Adults are then mixed with other adults that are there for another Eagle candidate and then the board chair will assign 3 adults that are not in the same unit as the Eagle candidate to each board.

Boone, Clinton, and Montgomery Counties 

County Eagle Board chairs will reach out to the youth either through email or by phone.
