Eagle Applications Process Improved

The National Office has developed a new program and process that all Councils must use when certifying Eagle Scout Applications.

In the past, our Eagle Registrar was available to  certify a candidate's application in approximately 30 minutes. This process requires a much greater amount of time, and it has become necessary that an individual schedule an appointment if they wish to wait during  the certification process. Individuals without an appointment will receive a receipt indicating the candidate's application is at the Council Service Center, and the expected date of completion (normally three  business days). The individual may also indicate how they wish the application returned to them. To make an appointment, please contact the Eagle Registrar at 615-383-9724 or by email at advancement@mtcbsa.org.

The new certification process requires our Eagle Registrar to enter all information from the Scouts application to the program and check each Eagle Scout Application against existing  records (this is the process previously performed by the National Office staff).  Our Eagle Registrar will obtain the Council Executive's verification signature, proceed with the final steps and with the push  of a button, the information is forwarded to the National Office. It is no longer necessary for us to mail the applications to the National Office.
