Notes
AGE REQUIREMENT ELIGIBILITY. Merit badges, badges of rank, and Eagle Palms may be earned by a
registered Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, or Venturer. He may earn these awards until his 18th birthday. Any
Venturer who achieved the First Class rank as a Boy Scout in a troop or Varsity Scout in a team may
continue working for the Star, Life, and Eagle Scout ranks and Eagle Palms while registered as a
Venturer up to his 18th birthday. Scouts and Venturers who have completed all requirements prior to
their 18th birthday may be reviewed within three months after that date with no explanation. Boards of
review conducted between three and six months after the candidate's 18th birthday must be
preapproved by the local council. A statement by an adult explaining the reason for the delay must be
attached to the Eagle Scout Rank Application when it is submitted to the Eagle Scout Service. The Boy
Scout Division at the national office must be contacted for procedures to follow if a board of review is to
be conducted more than six months after a candidate's 18th birthday.
If you have a permanent physical or mental disability, you may become an Eagle Scout by qualifying
for as many required merit badges as you can and qualifying for alternative merit badges for the rest. If
you seek to become an Eagle Scout under this procedure, you must submit a special application to your
local council service center. Your application must be approved by your council advancement
committee before you can work on alternative merit badges.
A Scout or Venturer with a disability may work toward rank advancement after he is 18 years old
