These requirements were revised effective on January 1, 2000.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After becoming an Eagle Scout, you may earn Palms by completing the following requirements:

1.   Be active in your troop and patrol for at least 3 months after becoming an Eagle Scout
      or after the award of your last Palm.
2.   Demonstrate Scout spirit by living the Scout Oath (Promise) and Scout Law in your everyday life.
3.   Make a satisfactory effort to develop and demonstrate leadership ability.
4.   Earn five additional merit badges beyond those required for  Eagle or last Palm.*
5.   Take part in a Scoutmaster conference.
6.   Complete your board of review.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You may wear only the proper combination of Palms for the number of merit badges you
have earned beyond the rank of Eagle.

The Bronze Palm represents 5 merit badges, the Gold Palm 10, and the Silver Palm 15.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Merit Badges earned any time since becoming a Boy Scout may be used to meet this requirement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: Scouts who earn three Palms may continue to earn additional Palms in the same order -
bronze, gold, and silver.   
All requirements for Eagle Palms must be completed before a candidate's 18th birthday.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please note that Requirement 6 - (Complete your board of review) MAY be done
AFTER the Scout has reached age 18.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following Table shows how many and which Palms should be worn for various numbers of
Merit Badges beyond the 21 required for Eagle Scout, and how long it takes to earn these palms
