This informative Life to Eagle Seminar is for parents and scouts to learn what is required on the journey from Life Scout to Eagle Scout.  

The paperwork to complete the Eagle rank can be intimidating. This seminar will help boys, parents and leaders understand the process and what is required. The seminar will cover the Eagle application and the Eagle Project Worksheet.  All Boy Scout Leaders, Parents of Boy Scouts and Future Eagles are encouraged to attend.  Scouts who are at least Star Rank getting ready to achieve Life Rank should definately attend this helpful session.
