“It's the spirit within, not the veneer without, that makes a man."
- Sir Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts, 1857-1941

  2. Demonstrate that you live by the principles of the Scout Oath and Scout Law in your daily life. List on your Eagle Scout Rank Application the names of individuals who know you personally and would be willing to provide a recommendation on your behalf, including parents/guardians, religious, educational, and employer references.
  3. Earn a total of 21 merit badges (10 more than you already have), including the following: 

    (a) First Aid , (b) Citizenship in the Community , (c) Citizenship in the Nation , (d) Citizenship in the World , (e) Communication , (f) Cooking , (g) Personal Fitness , (h) Emergency Preparedness  OR Lifesaving , (i) Environmental Science  OR Sustainability , (j) Personal Management , (k) Swimming  OR Hiking  OR Cycling , (l) Camping , and (m) Family Life .**
