Eagle Scout Rank

The Eagle Scout Rank Process is well documented on the Grand Canyon Council Eagle Scout Process page. Be sure to download and read the Eagle Scout Project Workbook before starting. Be sure to read the "Read This First" document. Reading through this page will answer many of your questions, saving you time and saving time for adult leaders assisting you.

There are three key points a Scout will coordinate with Troop leadership:

• When considering ideas for a project discuss your idea or ideas with the Troop Scoutmaster and other leaders. This allows for discussion of any concerns, or suggestions that may help your project. At this point you will also work with a Troop Eagle coach that can answer questions and help with some guidance on your project.

•  Once you've completed your proposal, and it is approved by the benefiting organization, you will need the Troop Scoutmaster and Committee Chair approval and signatures. We ask that you present your proposal to the Troop committee at which time these signatures can be completed. Contact our Scoutmaster or Committee Chair, ideally a few weeks ahead of time. Committee meetings are typically the first week of the month.

• Upon completing your project, you will again need signatures from the Troop Scoutmaster and Committee Chair.  We ask that you meet with the Troop committee where we will hold a unit level Board of Review (BOR). This is not the official BOR for Eagle Rank, but instead will be a chance for you to present your project and to prepare for the official BOR held by the Gila River District.

Phoenix Tool Bank

The Phoenix Tool Bank has a large inventory of tools available to rent for a week at low rates. Troop leaders and families often have the tools needed for your project, but the Tool Bank is a good option to check if you need a larger number of a certain tool or something less common. You can find their website here, and their list of tools and rates here.
