Trail To Eagle Scout
      
Required for Eagle
The following 15 badges are on the list of badges in requirement 3 for Eagle Scout.
Although a Scout must earn only 12 of them for the rank of Eagle Scout, and certain of them are therefore options for others, a Scout may choose any combination of these merit badges to fulfill requirement number 3 for Star and Life Scout. (He must have a total of 4 of these badges for Star and 7 of these badges for Life)

Camping
Citizenship in the Community
Citizenship in the Nation
Citizenship in the World

Note: Scouts who advanced to Star Scout before April 1, 1999, and used Safety and/or Sports (which were formerly on this list) to meet the above requirement MUST substitute one of the badges on the current list to advance to Life Scout. Safety and/or Sports can be used as one or two of the four elective badges needed to meet the total of 11 needed for Life Scouts.
Scouts advancing to Eagle Scout who used Sports and/or Safety for either Star or Life before April 1, 1999, must use those badges as elective badges .

The long trail to Eagle is full of opportunities for a Scout to learn about himself, others, and the world around him. Along the trail he sets goals for himself and works towards them, all the while gaining valuable knowledge that will aid him in his life. It takes determination and effort, but the rewards are great.
