Eagle Application and Service Project Workbook Update

If you have not heard, there is a new 2009 Eagle Scout Rank Application form (512-728).  The 2008 version will not be accepted by the NCAC after August 1, 2009.  The 2009 form is very similar to the 2008 form but more information and a detailed review are forthcoming from the NCAC Advancement Committee.  The .pdf version of the form is fillable and savable, unlike previous versions.  Please test this on your own computer before losing substantial work. As with all scouting changes, there is a transition period from now until August 1, 2009 where the current 2008 Eagle Scout Rank Application form is valid and can be used by candidates for Eagle Scout.  Scouts who have started their project or will have it completed before August 1, 2009 are not affected. Scouts do not need to re-do your Eagle Scout Rank Application form or project write-up if they believe they will have their Eagle Board of Review prior to August 1, 2009.  If the Eagle Board of Review is conducted after August 1, 2009, then the Scout must use the 2009 version of the Eagle Scout Rank Application form but can use the current Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook if the project was started and complete before August 1, 2009.  Note: Scouts may use the new 2009 Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook (512-927) now if they want but it is not required unless they are starting and/or completing their project after August 1, 2009.  The .pdf version of the workbook is also fillable and savable, unlike previous versions.  Please test this on your own computer before losing substantial work.  We will get a Microsoft Word version of the form out as soon as it becomes available.
