Can an Eagle BOR happen after a candidates 18th Birthday?

Created by Dawn Niece, Modified on Mon, 13 Nov 2023 at 11:23 AM by Dawn Niece

An Eagle Scout board of review may occur, without special approval, up to 24 months after a Scout’s 18th birthday. 


See “Boards of Review Must be Granted When Requirements are Met,” 8.0.0.2.


To hold a board beyond 24 months after the 18th birthday, the candidate, the candidate’s parent or guardian, the unit leader, or a unit committee member must submit a Belated Rank Application (11.3.0.0). See item #3 below.

 

For more detailed information, see See Guide to Advancement Section 8.0.3.1 1.
