National BSA Policies Related To Rank Advancement posted on this system.
If you have a permanent physical or mental disability you may become an
Eagle Scout by qualifying for as many required merit badges as you can and qualifying for
alternate merit badges for the rest. If you seek to become an Eagle under this procedure,
you must submit a special application to your council service center. Your application
must be approved by your council committee on advancement before you can work
on alternative merit badges.
