We no longer hold formal Orientation sessions. Instead, please review the Google Slides presentation on this page along with related links to forms and articles. When we are able to resume face-to-face review boards, we will hold Q&A sessions for Scouts , their parents, and Advisers to get clarification on questions they may have.

Orientation is a Scout's introduction to all the steps he or she will have to take if they want to attain Eagle Rank. All Scouts should plan to attend one of these sessions; along with the links on this page, there's lots of useful information that will make the journey less mysterious. And, it's OK if you want to come back again for a refresher session.
We encourage parents and Advisers to come along as well so you can see what lies ahead. Check the calendar for scheduled Orientation sessions.
Preparation for your Orientation Q & A session . . .
For this session to be useful, you need to do a little homework.
- Review the Google Slides presentation 'Life to Eagle' below. Make notes about any questions you may have. We will address them at the session.
- Download the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook. It's a 26 page document so we don't recommend printing a hard copy. Do a quick read - just enough to be familiar with the document.
- Download the Orientation Workbook Extract - it's eight pages. Either print a hard copy - recommend double-sided printing - or save it to a laptop or mobile device. Do read this extract carefully. You may want to bring it with you for the Orientation Q & A. We will be referring to the content. And, we will answer any questions you might have.
- Download and print - hard copy this time - the Project Record & Checklist and The Sweet Sixteen of BSA Safety.
Here are the links to the documents . . .
