Note that Eagle Palms are NOT considered "Ranks" by BSA.

After successfully completing an Eagle Scout board of review and being validated as an Eagle Scout by the National Service Center,
 a Scout can be recognized immediately with an Eagle Palm for each additional five merit badges they have earned, beyond the 21
merit badges required for the rank of Eagle Scout.

Subsequently, they may earn additional Palms by completing the following requirements:

1. Since earning the Eagle Scout rank or your last Eagle Palm, demonstrate Scout spirit by living the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
   Tell how you have done your duty to God and how you have lived the Scout Oath and Scout Law in your everyday life.
2. Continue to set a satisfactory example of accepting responsibility or demonstrating leadership ability.
3. Earn five additional merit badges beyond those required for Eagle or last Palm.

You may wear only the proper combination of Palms for the number of merit badges you earned beyond the rank of Eagle. The Bronze Palm represents five merit badges, the Gold Palm 10, and the Silver Palm 15.

Eagle Palms are worn by youth members on the Eagle Scout rank patch, or on the ribbon of the Eagle Scout Medal.

NOTE:
Scouts who earn three Palms may continue to earn additional Palms in the same order - bronze, gold, and silver. All requirements for Eagle Palms must be completed before a candidate's 18th birthday.
The following Table shows how many and which Palms should be worn for various numbers of Merit Badges beyond the 21 required for Eagle Scout.
