with additional guidance on the Eagle Scout service project and final steps leading up to the

Where: First Presbyterian Church, 509 Pearl Avenue, Joplin, MO

To Prepare:
1. Download “Eagle Guide to Advancement 2025”. To save paper, you can download on a
laptop or phone. We will become very familiar with this guide.
2. Download and copy “Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook” and “Eagle Scout Application”
Additional Information: The workshop will also discuss the Eagle Scout board of review and
subsequent court of honor. Scouts that participate in a Pathway to Eagle Workshop should
feel prepared for the next phase of their Scouting journey.

The Scout will benefit from attending the workshop by understanding the work ahead of them
to fulfill the requirements of the Eagle Scout rank and how to properly plan their timeline to
accomplish those by either a self-imposed or age-related deadline.

The Scout's family will benefit from attending the workshop by helping them understand the path
their Scout is traveling. If the family knows the path ahead, it will allow them to
gauge when it is better to back off and let the Scout proceed on his or her own, or when
encouragement is helpful. There are deadlines in Scouting, which this workshop will describe
in detail. Attending the workshop allows you to be prepared with knowledge about the points
that are important and, by the same token, empowers you to understand the things you don’t
need to worry about.

Scout leaders can benefit greatly from attending the workshop. Scouting evolves constantly. It
may have changed several times in the years since you experienced the Eagle trail as a youth or began
volunteering as a leader.

Attending this workshop, especially if you are an Eagle Scout Service Project Coach or
Scoutmaster, will prepare you to advise Scouts wisely and guide them along the Eagle trail. It
also provides an opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussion with trained, well-
informed leaders.
