In fact, only about 4 percent of Scouts obtain Eagle ran This page will contain information valuable to you as you get closer to finishing your Merit Badges for your Eagle Badge. As you complete the requirements for Eagle Scout you should refer to this page for the information that will help you make your decision about your Eagle Project and the process involved in your project.
