Email is the best way of contact. Please cc: the Five Creeks Eagle Chair as well as a second adult to your county Eagle Project Approver. (To satisfy youth protection requirements)

Each approver has their own set-up for approval meetings. They will guide you through the process. 

Application and binder

We allow the Eagle Candidate to decide if they would like to submit their Eagle binder it to the council themselves, a parent, or an adult leader from the troop.

All Eagle binders need to be turned in by the first of the month to make the cutoff for that month's Eagle boards of review -- that is if they clear council by the by the first Friday of the month.

We follow the Council and all letters should be sent to the council office addressed in this manner:

Crossroads of America Council

Five Creeks Eagle Scout Board

7125 Fall Creek Road North

Indianapolis, Indiana 46226

Eagle Board of Review

Schedule

Hendricks/Marion County Boards 

All Eagle binders need to be turned in by the 1st of the month to make the cutoff for that month's eagle boards that is if they clear council by the by the first Friday of the month

Scouts will receive an email letting them know that they have been approved to receive their Eagle Board of Review no later than the 3rd Monday of the month. 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.
