Eagle Palms

Eagle Scout is not the end but a beginning

Eagle Palms are awarded for each 5 Merit Badges earned after earning the Eagle Scout Rank after completing tenure and other requirements. An Eagle Palm is not a rank but an award.

The Eagle Scout Rank requires that you earn 21 of the 121 Merit Badges. After earning the Eagle Scout Rank, you can continue to earn Merit badges and Eagle Palms until your 18th birthday. Currently the maximum number of Eagle Palms you can earn is 20, worn as six silver palms and one gold palm. You would need at least 3 months for each palm for a total of 60 months, or five years after earning Eagle. To earn all 20 palms you would need to earn Eagle by your 13th birthday.

Eagle Palm Plan

With careful planning, a Scout can earn a dozen or more Eagle Palms. The optional Eagle Palm Plan Worksheet can help you chart your course through all 20 Eagle Palms and 121 Merit Badges. See the chart below for the sequence of palms, how they are worn, and the minimum tenure requirements:

Eagle Palms requirements

These requirements become effective Aug 1, 2017.

After successfully completing your Eagle Scout board of review and being validated as an Eagle Scout by the National Service Center, you will be entitled to receive an Eagle Palm for each additional 5 merit badges you have completed before your Eagle Scout board of review. For these Palms only, it will not be necessary for you to complete any of the requirements stated below.

After becoming an Eagle Scout, you may earn Palms by completing the following requirements:

  1. Be active in the Boy Scouts of America for at least three months after becoming an Eagle Scout or after the last Palm was earned.[1]
  2. Since earning the Eagle Scout rank or your last Eagle Palm, demonstrate Scout spirit by living the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Tell how you have done your duty to God and how you have lived the Scout Oath and Scout Law in your everyday life.
  3. Continue to set a satisfactory example of accepting responsibility or demonstrating leadership ability.
  4. Earn five additional merit badges beyond those required for Eagle or last Palm.[2]
  5. While an Eagle Scout, participate in a Scoutmaster conference[3].

Footnotes

  1. ↑ Except for Palms awarded for groups of five merit badges beyond 21 which were earned before the Scout's Eagle Scout Board of Review, Eagle Palms must be earned in sequence, and the three-month tenure requirement must be observed for each Palm. I.e. you may only earn a Palm if you have been active in the BSA for at least the prior three months.
  2. ↑ Merit badges earned any time since becoming a Boy Scout may be used to meet this requirement.
  3. ↑ For Varsity Scouts working on Boy Scout requirements, replace "Scoutmaster" with "Varsity Scout Coach". For Venturers working on Boy Scout requirements, replace "Scoutmaster" with "Crew Advisor". For Sea Scouts working on Boy Scout requirements, replace "Scoutmaster" with "Skipper".
