Troop 700 has 75 Eagle Scout recipients, we are one of Las Vegas Area Councils oldest troops at 25 years in 2015.
Significance: The
fact that a boy is an Eagle Scout has always carried with it a special
significance, not only in Scouting but also as he enters higher
education, business or industry, and community service. The award is a
performance-based achievement whose standards have been well-maintained
over the years. Not every boy who joins a Boy Scout troop earns the
Eagle Scout rank; only about 2 percent of all Boy Scouts do so. This
represents more than 1 million Boy Scouts who have earned the rank since
1911. Nevertheless, the goals of Scouting's citizenship training,
character development, and personal fitness remain important for all
Scouts, whether or not they attain the Eagle Scout rank.
Progression: To earn the Eagle Scout rank,
the highest advancement rank in Scouting, a Boy Scout must fulfill
requirements in the areas of leadership, service, and outdoor skills.
Although many options are available to demonstrate proficiency in these
areas, a number of specific skills are required to advance through the
ranks Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life, and Eagle. To
advance, a Boy Scout must pass specific tests that are organized by
requirements and merit badges.
Merit Badges: Merit badges signify the
mastery of certain Scout craft skills, as well as helping boys increase
their skill in an area of personal interest. Of the 130+ merit badges
available, 21 must be earned to qualify for Eagle Scout. Of this group,
12 badges are required from the following:
- First Aid
- Citizenship in the Community
- Citizenship in the Nation
- Citizenship in the World
- Communication
- Cooking
- Personal Fitness
- Emergency Preparedness OR Lifesaving
- Environmental Science OR Sustainability
- Personal Management
- Swimming OR Hiking OR Cycling
- Camping
- Family Life
Scoutmaster Conferences: At each of his
rank advancements, a Boy Scout takes part in a Scoutmaster conference.
These conferences help the Scout to set goals for himself in line with
his individual talents and abilities. At each conference, the
Scoutmaster helps him evaluate how well he accomplished his present goal
and then works with him in setting new goals.
Service and Responsibility: Beginning with
the Star rank, and continuing through Life and Eagle, a Scout must
demonstrate participation in increasingly more responsible service
projects. At these levels, he also must demonstrate leadership skills by
holding one or more specific youth positions of responsibility in his
patrol and/or troop.
