Sweetwater Eagle Scout Candidates

The Eagle Scout Award. It’s Scouting’s highest rank and among its most familiar icons. Men who have earned it count it among their most treasured possessions. Now young men and young women have the opportunity to wear this honor for their entire lives.

Achieving this rank is not easy. It's not intended to be. You must work hard, show your courage, and exercise the skills you learned along the way. You are not alone on this journey. You have your parents, your fellow scouts, and a dedicated Eagle Project Coach, in addition to the adult leaders in your Troop who helped get you here. Use these resources!

Important Notice: New Eagle Rank Application. All Eagle Scout candidates starting a new Eagle Scout Rank Application (new means no signatures so far), MUST use the new 2020 version of the application, available via the link below. Earlier versions of the form with signatures dated after February 29th 2020, risk being turned away to restart the form.
