Shouldn't [[Category:Varsity Scout leader recognition awards]] be something like [[Category:Varsity Scout awards]], instead? —RWSmith (Bureaucrat), 01:21, March 23, 2010 (EDT)

Eagle Plan Worksheet
The Eagle Scout Plan document's links don't work in Protected mode. What is the unprotect password? --Proud2b4family 12:32, November 2, 2011 (EDT)
- I assume the creator of this document (Craig Lincoln) didn't want it to be modified (except, of course, for the user-fillable form fields) — hence, the reason he password-protected the document. I'm sorry, but I don't know the password to "unlock" the document's properties. If you could give me an idea of what –exactly– you want to change, I'll see what I can do about making a new one. (See next paragraph.)
- FWIW, with all the changes that are in the new Guide To Advancement, BSA Pub. 33088 (supersedes Advancement Committee – Policies and Procedures), I'll be looking for an updated Eagle Plan Worksheet

Requirement 5
Minor edits
- Workbook title does not have "leadership" in it anymore. It's just "Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook."
- Document number is 512-927. The page lists it as 521-927.
