Eagle Palms

[irover33]

question about the awarding and requirements for eagle palms.

 

do the merit badges need to be earned after the eagle award or do "extra"( over those needed for eagle) merit badges go to this award

[scoutldr]

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

 

Be active in your troop and patrol for at least three months after becoming an Eagle Scout or after award of last Palm.

Demonstrate Scout spirit by living the Scout Oath (Promise) and Scout Law in your everyday life.

Make a satisfactory effort to develop and demonstrate leadership ability.

Earn five additional merit badges beyond those required for Eagle or last Palm. Merit badges earned any time since becoming a Boy Scout may be used to meet this requirement.

 

Take part in a Scoutmaster conference.

Complete your board of review.

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

scoutldr got it right (the short answer would have been "no." Just remember, "beyond the Eagle rank" means in addition to what was required for Eagle, not earned after obtaining the Eagle rank (or award).

 

It is the same for all ranks. Heck, a boy could earn all of his MBs before he earns his Scout badge (not rank) for that matter.(This message has been edited by acco40)

You only wear the highest single palm up to 15 merit badges then you wear multiples to add up to your total without exceeding the number (9 wears the bronze not the gold). Silver and Bronze Palms 20; Silver and Gold Palms 25; Silver and Silver 30 and so on.
