Scouting Forum post from Ron Federle, # 47
https://discussions.scouting.org/t/citizenship-in-society-merit-badge/256080/43
Eagle Scout candidates will continue to use the current rank requirements until June 30, 2022 and will not be required to complete the new Citizenship in Society Merit Badge as long as they complete all of the current Eagle Rank requirements before July 1, 2022. They do not have to submit their final Eagle Scout application nor complete their Eagle Scout Board of Review prior to July 1, 2022, but must complete all current Eagle Scout requirements before then.
Starting July 1, 2022, Eagle Scout candidates will be required to complete all Eagle Scout requirements including the new Citizenship in Society merit badge.
As has been the practice, the Local Council will be responsible for verifying in the system the Eagle Scout candidate and their completion of the Eagle Scout requirements. The Local Council will determine those Scouts that meet all requirements before July 1, 2022 under the current requirements, and those Scouts that fall under the new Eagle Scout requirements as of July 1, 2022.

New--Eagle Project Opportunities
Are you a Life Scout looking for an Eagle Project opportunity? Rea Farms STEAM Academy, a CMS's K-8 school, opened in South Charlotte last year. As a new school, it does not have a lot of stuff that kids would like (and frankly need for mental health) like older recess equipment in good working order. Students would greatly appreciate swings, gaga ball pit, and other outdoor equipment. No Scouts or units have established relationships there yet. We would love to see a Scout(s) develop projects to help this school. If interested, please contact Dayna Perkowski-Galdun at rfsa.ptafundraising@gmail.com.
New--Eagle Scout Scholarships, Be Prepared to apply for NESA scholarships soon
Applicants must have completed an Eagle Scout board of review before January 24, 2022; must be members of NESA (click here to join); and must submit their application through the NESA scholarship portal between December 1, 2021, and January 31, 2022.
