Eagle Application: Updated to January 2026 Requirements.
After successfully completing an Eagle Scout board of review and being validated as an Eagle Scout by the National Service Center, a Scout can be recognized immediately with an Eagle Palm for each additional five merit badges they have earned beyond the 21 merit badges required for the rank of Eagle Scout. 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.
