in items g and j, choose one and list the remaining badges to make your
total of 21.)
4. While a Life Scout, serve actively for 6 months in
one or more of the following positions of responsibility:
Boy Scout troop. Patrol leader, assistant senior

5. While a Life Scout, plan, develop, and give leadership
to others in a service project helpful to any religious institution, any
school, or your community. (The project should benefit an organization
other than Boy Scouting.) The project idea must be approved by your Scoutmaster
and troop committee and approved by the council or district before you
start. You must use the Life to Eagle Packet, BSA Publication No. 18-927,
in meeting this requirement.
6. Take part in a Scoutmaster conference.
7. Successfully complete an Eagle Scout board of review.
NOTE: 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 alternate merit badges for the rest. If you seek to
become and Eagle under this procedure, you must submit a special application
to your council service
center. Your application must be approved by your council committee
on advancement BEFORE YOU CAN WORK ON ALTERNATIVE MERIT BADGES.
