- Eagle Scout Time Extension Request Info
Important Information to Note about Eagle Extensions
The Council has the authority to grant limited extensions of time to complete Eagle, Quartermaster, and Summit requirements. Extension requests will be reviewed locally rather than through the national office.
The Council is required to follow the new Guide to Advancement rules. These will be included in the next publication and are available now at www.scouting.org/advancement.
Extensions are available only to youth members who qualify under the three tests listed In the new guide material.
Any new or additional time requests will have to be submitted using the 2021 process.
Scheduling a Project Proposal Review

Eagle Scout Project Workbook. - Your proposal needs to be reviewed and signed by the Benefiting organization representative, your Unit leader, and a Committee member.
