The Hiawatha District of the Baden Powell Council has revamped the Eagle Project Approval and Eagle Board of Review process. The effort was made to bring consistency and a more responsive process for the Eagle Scout candidate.
The meetings are scheduled the first Wednesday of each month. Emerson Network Power has graciously offered the use of their brand new conference rooms to hold the meetings.
