The third Thursday of each month is Boy Scout Advancement Night. We conduct Eagle project reviews from 7 PM until 7:30 PM. No appointment is necessary. Scouts should wear their Class A uniforms. Eagle Boards of Review begin at 7:30 PM and are only by appointment.

Please note that the location of our meeting has changed. We no longer meet at Troop 61’s Scout Lodge. We now meet at Hollydale United Methodist Church. Please visit http://www.hollydaleumc.org/Pages/Directions.htm for directions.


Life Scouts pursuing the Eagle rank should have a copy of the Atlanta Area Council Life to Eagle Guidebook (2005). You can pick them up in the Program Center at the Council office. You can also get it online here at the district website under the “Eagle Resources” section. That book is a fantastic resource. If a Life Scout wants to become an Eagle then being prepared means reading and following the advice of the guidebook.

If the Life Scout can put a checkmark in every box on page 28 of the guidebook then he is ready to present his project to the District Advancement Committee. When he presents it to us we will go right down that list to determine if we can approve it. Unfortunately, we do decline projects. The primary reasons for declining come right off that list.

The main reasons for declining a project are:
1) Lack of detail (too general, not specific)
2) Youth and adult hours are not estimated
3) Funding plan is not included or is too vague
4) Only one signed original (the Scout needs to bring two signed originals)

The District Advancement Committee has the awesome privilege of seeing your finished product…an Eagle Scout.

Yours in Scouting,
