As
per the Boy Scout Requirements 2008 handbook, the requirements
for earning Palms are as follows.
Eagle Scout Palm Application
- 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.**
- Take part in Scoutmaster conference.
- Complete a 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.
*Eagle Palms must be earned in sequence, and three-month
tenure requirement must be observed for each Palm.
**Merit badges earned any time since becoming a Boy Scout may
be used to meet this requirement.
