Mecklenburg County Boy Scouts of America

Hornets Nest District - Advancement

Boy Scouting provides a series of surmountable obstacles and steps in overcoming them through the advancement method. The Boy Scout is rewarded for each achievement, which helps him gain self-confidence. The steps in the advancement system help a Boy Scout grow in self-reliance and in the ability to help others.

Be sure to check the Council Advancement page for upcoming merit badge courses.

Important changes to the Eagle Project review process:

​

The Hornets Nest District is moving to a form request rather than an email request to request an Eagle Project Review.

This form is to be used by Life Scouts of the Hornets Nest District to request a review of their Eagle project proposal.  Once the request is received, a reviewer will be assigned.  The reviewer will contact the Life Scout directly using the email provided in the form. The Parent email and Unit Leader email will be :cc'ed on the email from the reviewer back to the Scout. 

Hornets Nest Eagle Project Review Request: https://forms.gle/Ti234KEYufahyGDm6

Items to double check ...

1.  Ensure you have ALL your signatures for your proposal.  Due to the pandemic, email approvals are acceptable if a written signature is not attainable.

2.  Scan in your Eagle project proposal to a PDF.  Your reviewer will ask you to email the PDF to him/her.  Be Prepared!

ANY REQUESTS THAT ARE EMAILED DIRECTLY TO hornetsnest.advancement@gmail.com WILL STILL MONITORED AND ACCEPTED.  HOWEVER,  THE LIFE SCOUT WILL ALSO BE ASKED TO COMPLETE REQUEST FORM IN A FOLLOW-UP EMAIL.  

For general questions about the form or the Hornets Nest Eagle project review process, please send your email question(s) to hornetsnest.advancement@gmail.com.
