Eagle Scout application
After a recent Eagle board of review, a Troop committee chair asked who had signed the application because he had never seen it. upon inspection of the application after the board of review passed the scout the signatures of the Scoutmaster and Committee Chair were from the previous two people and the current ones did not know this application had been processed. Nowhere in the advancement guide is there a requirement or suggestion that those dates and signatures be checked to ensure they were signed after the project was completed and not before. When a registrar submits the eagle application on line there is no entry date for the scoutmaster, committee chair or the scout required so therefore the application will not be flagged if the required entries are incorrect. The scout, scoutmaster and committee chair dates should be entered into the computer to ensure the signatures were done AFTER the project completion and not before.

If the previous unit leader or committee chair has signed an Eagle application, the new unit leader or committee chair should not be disrupting the process. Earning Eagle should be about affirming the Scout or Venturer's achievements, and not about the techinicalities of which current or former leaders have endorsed his application

1)The date of the Scoutmaster conference is always part of the electronic submission.

2)The NEW committee chair really has no say about what has gone on,with the Eagle applications,before they took over.
