How long does an eagle scout application usually take?
There is not a set "length" of time for earning the Eagle Scout Rank. The Eagle Trail, as it is often referred to, begins with joining scouts. The first three ranks earned are Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class. Scouting encourages Scout units to provide a program that allows Scouts to earn these ranks in their first year of Scouting. Keep in mind that the Scout must do the work and become proficient in the required skills. It is doable in a year but may take longer. In order to continue to advance in rank, a Scout must then start to earn Merit Badges, provide Community Service, Leadership within his Troop, and continue to demonstrate conduct consistent with the Scout Oath and Law. The next ranks do require a minimum time in rank to advance. Star Scout - 4 months, Life Scout - 6 months, and Eagle - 6 months. I will post the Scouting.org official advancement requirements below this answer. Good luck to all of those on the Eagle Trail! ThirftyScout@gmail.com www.thriftyscout.blogspot.com
Why become an Eagle Scout?
There are many advantages to earning the Eagle Scout rank including the skills learned, the leadership learned, and the general demonstration to yourself and everyrone else that you can commit to a long term extraordinarily difficult task and get it doneThe main advantage to being an Eagle Scout, other than that you possess all of the above, is that people generally understand that it is a great achievement accomplished by very few. I can think of nothing esle that can be accomplished before the age of 18 that will still be listed and discussed into adulthood. You will never see "captain of the HS football team" on the resume of a 50 year old man applying to be CEO of a large corporation but if he is an Eagle Scout it will be there, it will be noted, and it will often be the difference between that guy and all the others with similar education and experience.

How many service hours are required for Eagle Scout?
There is no set requirement for the number of service hours to earn Eagle Scout. You are probably referring to the service project component of the rank. One of the requirements for Eagle Scout is to "plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a service project". The project needs to benefit an organization other than the Boy Scouts.These projects can be fairly simple or quite elaborate. The often overlooked key is leadership. The Scout must involve others in his project. Projects must be approved by an Eagle Board of Review and this group will determine if the project is substantial enough to qualify.The project must be a significant contribution to the community, and a significant challenge to the Scout. There is no set minimum, and that is explicitly stated in the Boy Scout literature. Statistics would suggest that the average project involves about 200 person hours including planning and carrying out the project, but there have been projects well over 1000 hours, and some as little as 100 hours.The last eagle scout in our troop needed 96 hours to the best of my knowledge.
Does being an Eagle Scout help get you into college?
Absolutely. Colleges are looking for for people who got deeply involved in their chosen activities not just joined a bunch of thing to list on the applications. they also want to know that the applicant has perseverance, a good work effort, and can set and attain long term goals. Having the Eagle shows shows these and many other qualities that colleges find attractive.
