The Life to Eagle Orientation consists of two distinct meetings held simultaneously. The first focuses on providing guidance to Scouts who achieved the rank of Life as they embark upon the last leg of their journey to the rank of Eagle. The other meeting targets the Advancement Chairs, Scoutmasters, Assistant Scoutmasters, Committee Members, Merit Badge Counselors, and parents and discusses the roles, responsibilities, and expectations of each while working with the Scouts through the process.Because the questions and discussions vary from session to session, it is recommended that you attend more than one session.
Pre-registration is very important to ensure the appropriate amount of materials. To register, please e-mail Kristi Keck with the number of Scouts and adults attending.
Thank you and see you there!

Merit Badge Counselors
Merit Badge Counselors are volunteers with specialized skills who lead Boy Scouts working on specific merit badges.
The District Merit Badge Counselors file (Updated 2010-07-27) matches District Counselors to merit badges and uses a new easier to use format!
For those looking to become a Merit Badge Counselor, please fill out the Counselor Application and then contact Butch Colby (Dean of Merit Badge Counselors) for submission directions.
NEW! Geocaching Merit Badge
We are excited to introduce the Geocaching Merit Badge. It is the second new merit badge within 6 months (after SCUBA) and the first of three to focus on applications associated with science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The other two merit badges in this group include the Inventing Merit Badge (developed in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) due out in mid-June and the Robotics Merit Badge due out in the first quarter of 2011).
The Geocaching Merit Badge will be represented at Merit Badge Midway at the 2010 National Scout Jamboree.
Check out the requirements for this newest merit badge.

Spirit of the Eagle Award
The Boy Scouts of America created the Spirit of the Eagle Award as an honorary posthumous special recognition for a registered youth member who lost his or her life in a tragic accident or through illness.
This award is bestowed by the National Court of Honor as part of the celebration of life of this young person. The award recognizes the joy, happiness, and life-fulfilling experiences that the Scouting program made in this person's life.
The guidelines are:
- The recipient must be a registered youth member under 21 years of age at the time of his or her death.
- The unit committee must submit an application for the award within six months of the youth member's death.
- The unit committee must request the approval of the local council.
The Spirit of the Eagle Award application, No. 92-108, is available through local council service centers. For convenience, we provide a downloadable copy of the application.
