Eagle Policy and Procedures
New procedures from BSA.
Effective Monday, February 3, the Longhorn Council Service Centers
will no longer be able to certify Eagle Scout Applications without
an appointment.
The National Office has developed a new program and process that all
Councils must use when certifying Eagle Scout Applications.
In the past, our Eagle Processor was available to certify a
candidate’s application in approximately 30 minutes. The new process
requires a much greater amount of time, and it has become necessary
that an individual schedule an appointment if they wish to wait
during the certification process. Individuals without an appointment
will receive a receipt indicating the candidate’s application is at
the Council Service Center, and the expected date of completion
(normally three business days). The individual may also indicate how
they wish the application returned to them.
The new certification process requires our Eagle Processor to enter
all information from the Scouts application to the new program and
check each Eagle Scout Application against existing records (this is
the process previously performed by the National Office staff). Our
Eagle Processor will provide a print out of the electronic Eagle
Scout Application to be taken to the Board of Review. This is the
only application accepted at the scouts Board of Review. This
version of the application, signed by the Review Board Members is
returned to the Council Office for final processing. Our Eagle
Processor will obtain the Council Executives verification signature,
proceed with the final steps and with a push of a button, the
information is forwarded to the National office. It is no longer
necessary for us to mail the applications to the National Office.
We understand the transition to this new procedure may be easier for
some and not so easy for others. We ask your patience as we to
transition together into this new frontier
