Helping Staten Island Scouts on the trail to Eagle

We're the volunteers of the Aquehonga District Advancement Committee. We guide Scouts and families through Eagle projects and applications, sign up merit badge counselors, and train the leaders who make it all happen.

The Scout Oath

On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

Every Eagle Scout started somewhere

Maybe it was raising the flag at a pack meeting, or a first night in a tent. Years later, about 50 to 60 Staten Island Scouts a year send us an Eagle project proposal, and about as many send their Eagle application.

Our volunteers read every one. We're here to help each Scout get it right, and we're rooting for all of them.
