Documents that can be found at the link above are:
The Council has the authority to grant limited extensions of time to complete Eagle, Quartermaster, and Summit requirements. Effective 1/2021, these are reviewed at the council level rather than through the National office.
The Council is required to follow the Guide to Advancement rules. These are available at www.scouting.org/advancement.
Extensions are available only to youth members who qualify under the three tests listed In the new guide material and on page 2 of the application form.
The COVID-19 Extension authority expired on 12/31/2020.
