Palm Requirements
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.
