Congratulations, Life Scout,

In attaining the rank of Life Scout, you have had the opportunity to learn and master many skills. You've hiked and camped in good and not-so-good weather. You've learned to take care of yourself and others in the out-of-doors, as well as in your home community.

Before you now is the opportunity to master yet another set of skills. These skills are encompassed in the requirements for the rank of Eagle Scout. One of these requirements is your demonstration of leadership skills. You do so by planning and carrying out an Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project.

This Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook will help you meet this requirement. You will use this workbook to plan, receive the necessary approvals, carry out, and then report on the completion of your project.

After completing your project and all the other requirements for the rank of Eagle Scout, complete the following steps:

1. Review the enclosed Eagle Scout Rank Application. Note that you will need to list refrences of people who will speak on your behalf. You will also need to prepare a statement about yourself.
2. Fill out the enclosed Eagle Scout Rank Application. Ask your unit leader and/or unit advancemnt committee person to assist you.
3. Secure the signatures of your unit leader and unit committee chirman. Their signatures indicate approval and recommendation by your unit.
4. Submit your Eagle Scout Rank Application and statement about yourself with your Leadership Service Project Workbook to your local council service center.

The contents of your application will be certified and the refrences you have listed will be contacted. After certification and refrences verification, you will be contacted by the Eagle Scout Board of review chairman who will set your board of review date.

Eagle Scouts are recognized as a group of men who are outstanding in all that Scouting represents. I encourage you to become a member of this elite group.

Sincerely,
Jere B. Ratcliffe
Chief Scout Executive
