Upon submission, a folder will be automatically created in the Council’s SharePoint system, labeled with your name and submission date.
Council staff will receive approval notification and review the application, verifying advancement records and electronically signing the Eagle application.
Once verified, the paperwork will be transferred to the BOR Stage Eagle Application Folder, and an approval notification will be finalized.
The Eagle BOR Team will be notified via email and will begin coordinating your Board of Review date.
- This process may take 2-3 weeks, as board members are recruited and schedules are aligned.

If electronic submission is not possible, prepare a printed packet with three (3) copies of each required document. Submit this packet to the Council Registrar for verification and signature. Once verified, the Council will work to schedule your Board of Review.
