The program is a great way for our new Scouts to learn their skills and get to know our older Scouts.

It is defined objectively, through at least 55% participation in all three categories of campouts, meetings and Courts of Honor.

Do I have to attend an Eagle Court of Honor?
An Eagle Court of Honor is a time we celebrate the accomplishments of our Scouts who have reached Scouts highest rank of Eagle. This is a very important day to these Scouts and all Scouts are required to attend. It takes a Troop to raise an Eagle and everyone in the troop should feel proud of the accomplishment.
When is the Court of Honor?
The troop holds three Courts of Honor each year – September, January and May. This is a time when Scouts and their parents are recognized for their rank advancement and other accomplishments. All Scouts are required to attend.

Activities Questions
Camping
Camping plays a large role in the development and advancement of our Scouts, as it provides the opportunity to learn valuable life skills while fostering leadership in an atmosphere of camaraderie.
Community Service Hours
How many service hours are required for advancement?
Our is committed to giving back to the community. While we encourage Scouts to seek out service opportunities on their own, we also provide opportunities to serve within the Troop so that they may meet the required number of hours for advancement.
What are Community Service Hours?
Community Service hours do not count as an activity – exception is when they are under First Class rank then it counts as one activity and if they attend the Highway Clean-up or Timberlake project or an Eagle Scout project it will count as both an activity and community service.
Community Service hours performed outside of Troop sponsored and/or coordinated events – require pre-approval from the Scoutmaster and must be signed off by the person coordinating the event. The organization they are providing service to must be a not-for-profit, religious or school type organization/club. School activities that are for a school class do not qualify.
What are Activity Hours?
Activity Hours are Scout approved events that are sponsored by either Troop 10 or HOAC. These include T10 Locker Clean-out, Eagle COH, Troop COH, Troop Service Projects that are not being used for service hours, Scout Day at the K, Scout Day at Sporting KC, American Royal Parade and other HOAC sponsored events. Proof of attendance is required.
Note: A Service Hour can be used as an Activity, but an Activity cannot be used as a service hour.
