- •If you have not already done so, please enter your 3 Acts of Leadership in the Acts of Leadership Form. These “Acts” include things such as: leading an outing, giving a presentation at a Troop meeting, leading an activity or game at a Troop meeting, or being SPL for a Court of Honor. Serving in a leadership position does NOT count as an Act of Leadership. Note: Must have been performed while a Life Scout.
- •Confirm that you have completed your Leadership Tracker for the leadership position you are counting for rank advancement. Be prepared to talk about those leadership acts and the leadership position(s) you held while a Life Scout.
- •Have your Eagle Project Advisor review your Eagle Binder.
- •Make sure that your service hours are logged in your scout handbook. Be prepared to talk about your service project hours.

Acts of Leadership for Eagle
At Eagle rank we expect the most substantial Acts of Leadership:
- •We don't count games or simple presentations
- •Acts should be outings, preferably at least one campout
- •We strongly encourage filling at least one significant role such as SPL for a week at Oljato, or Crew Chief at a high adventure camp
Critical: Acts completed for Star or Life do NOT carry over to Eagle. You must complete 3 new, substantial Acts after earning Life rank.
