The
fact that a boy is an Eagle Scout has always carried with it a special significance, not only in Scouting but also as he enters
higher education, business or industry, and community service. The award is a performance-based achievement whose standards
have been well-maintained over the years. Not every boy who joins a Boy Scout troop earns the Eagle Scout rank; only about
4 percent of all Boy Scouts do so. This represents more than 1 million Boy Scouts who have earned the rank since 1911. Nevertheless,
the goals of Scouting—citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness—remain important for all
Scouts, whether or not they attain the Eagle Scout rank.

Advancement, one of the eight methods by which the
aims of Scouting are achieved, has four steps through each award level. First, the Scout learns. Much of his learning comes
from other boys in his patrol or troop and by active participation in troop program. His patrol activities are directed toward
the skills he needs. Every troop hike, camping trip, or other activity offers potential learning experiences. A Scout learns
to pitch a tent by pitching one, to use a compass by finding directions, and to cook a meal by having to prepare and eat it.
Second, the Scout is tested. The specific requirements determine the kind of testing. Verbal testing is sufficient in some
instances. In other instances, a Scout must demonstrate his skills by doing. Third, the Scout is reviewed. The purpose of
the review is to ensure that all requirements for advancement have been met. This includes a check of the Scout's attitude
and practice of the ideals of Scouting, in addition to his Scout craft skills. The decision regarding whether a Scout has
met the required standards to qualify for rank advancement begins with the troop and, for the Eagle Scout rank, is approved
by the district, local council, and finally, the National Council. Fourth, the Scout is recognized. The final step in advancement
involves presentation of the badge, usually at a ceremony before the entire troop.
