Eagle Scout Information 
I am a member of the District
Advancement Committee for the Choctawhatchee District, Gulf Coast Council located in Pensacola,
Florida, in the far Northwest Florida Panhandle. This website
is intended as an "unofficial" source of information that will help
to explain, enhance and elaborate on the guidance and direction provided
by the Boy Scouts of America regarding attainment of Eagle Scout.
The Purpose of the Eagle Scout Award
A recipient of the Eagle Scout Award is a Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, or qualified Venturer* who applies the principles of the Scout Oath and Law in his daily life. He has achieved the qualities listed below because of determination and persistence through the advancement program:
- Concern for others
- Ability to help others through skills he has learned
- Ability to live and work cooperatively with others by meeting his responsibility to his patrol and troop
- Concern for self by improving his physical fitness to the limits of his physical resources
- Capacity for leadership
The above qualities also make excellent topics for Eagle Scout Board Of Review members to ask an Eagle Scout candidate to expound on during his Eagle Scout Board Of Review!
*In order for a Venturer to be an Eagle Scout candidate, he must have achieved First Class rank as a Boy Scout or Varsity Scout.
