New “Express Eagle” Rank Coming

Today it was announced the creation of a new “Express Eagle” rank.  This method of making it to Eagle Scout will be a big plus for those boys who don’t enjoy the many camping and other opportunities offered by the Boy Scouts, but still want to be able to list “Eagle Scout” on their college applications and resumes.

The “Express Eagle” rank can be earned with a donation of $100 per merit badge needed ($200 for Eagle required badges).  So, for just over $3000, any boy that meets the age requirements for becoming a Boy Scout can “earn” the badges needed to make Eagle in short order.

Additionally, with the “Hybrid Eagle” program, current Boy Scouts who are nearing their 18th birthday and can see no other way to earn the badges needed for Eagle can purchase only those badges needed  at the prices listed above.

Additionally, Eagle Scout service projects can be purchased at a cost of $500 each with the proceeds going to a charity in the Eagle candidates home town.

Complete details for the program as well as an Express Eagle Application can be found here.
