Extensions for Quartermaster rank and Venturing Summit Award
There is a two-step extension process for the Quartermaster rank and Venturing Summit Award, mirroring the process for the Eagle Scout rank:
- In the first step, the Scout, parent, and the district in which the Scout’s unit resides submit a written request to our council. Our council has authority to approve extension requests for up to six months. The request can be for any reason.
- If the request is for more than six months, our council will deny the request and the Scout, parent, and district must submit an appeal to Scouting America’s national council. This is the second step and is needed only if the request is for more than six months. Only the national council can approve extensions longer than six months.

Also: until further notice, Scouting America will accept electronic or digital signatures for youth applicants and unit approvals on these award applications. This includes printing out the application document, signing it with a pen, scanning/taking a picture, and sending via email or other appropriate communication platform to the next person for signature.
To request an extension that would give a Scout more time to complete award requirements, please:
1) complete the Scouting America form 11.2.0.0 “Request for Extension of Time to Earn Eagle Scout Rank”
2) submit the completed form to the Fickett Center by:
- Attaching an electronic copy to an email to [email protected] (this is preferred and will guarantee the fastest possible reply to your request)
- Dropping off a physical copy addressed to Ms. Smeaton at the Fickett Center front desk, or
- Mailing to Scouting America Capitol Area Council, attn: Eagle Processor, 12500 North IH 35, Austin, Texas, 78753
3) register as an adult member of Scouting (upon your 18th birthday):
- Fill out the adult application and background check form and select UP as the position code
- Complete Scouting America Youth Protection Training at my.scouting.org
- Scan your completed application, background check form, and certificate proving you completed Youth Protection Training to your troop’s Chartered Organization Representative (your Scoutmaster or Committee Chair can help with this if you have questions)
- You do not have to pay a new adult membership fee
- Your Chartered Organization Representative will sign, scan, and email your documents to our Registrar, or print, sign, and mail your documents to Scouting America Capitol Area Council, attn: Registrar, 12500 North IH 35, Austin, TX, 78753
