Eagle Palm Award

This Award is meant for Eagle scouts.

---

 

Eagle Palms are awarded for continued leadership and skills development (merit badges) after the Eagle Scout rank has been earned. These palms help keep the Eagle Scouts active within the unit, contributing to the leadership of the unit, and assisting with the growth of the other Scouts within the unit.

Eagle palms are pinned to the Eagle Award ribbon for Scouts, or pinned to the Eagle rank patch. Adult Eagle Scouts can display them on their ribbon or pinned to their Eagle Scout square knot patch.

After successfully completing an Eagle Scout board of review and being validated as an Eagle Scout by the National Service Center, a Scout can be recognized immediately with an Eagle Palm for each additional 5 merit badges they have completed beyond the 21 merit badges required for the rank of Eagle.

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

1. Since earning the Eagle Scout rank or your last Eagle Palm, demonstrate Scout spirit by living the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Tell how you have done your duty to God and how you have lived the Scout Oath and Scout Law in your everyday life.
2. Continue to set a satisfactory example of accepting responsibility or demonstrating leadership ability.
3. Earn five additional merit badges beyond those required for Eagle or last Palm. Merit badges earned any time since joining Scouts BSA may be used to meet this requirement.

Scouts wear only the proper combination of Palms for the number of merit badges earned beyond the rank of Eagle. The Bronze Palm represents five merit badges, the Gold Palm 10, and the Silver Palm 15.
