After becoming an Eagle Scout, you may earn Palms by completing the following
requirements.
1. Be active in your troop and patrol for at least three months after becoming an Eagle
Scout or after award of last Palm.
2. Demonstrate Scout spirit by living the Scout Oath (Promise) and Scout Law in your
everyday life.
3. Make a satisfactory effort to develop and demonstrate leadership ability.
4. 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.)
5. Take Part in a Scoutmaster Conference.
6. Complete your Board of Review.
You may wear only the proper combination of Palms for the number of merit badges you
