BSA doesn’t have a recommended advancement pace, so it may be difficult for Scouts to gauge if they are on a achievable path towards Eagle.

We've set the goal to reach Eagle by 17, which still leaves 12 months of buffer.

A Scout should not consider himself or herself to be "behind" or "ahead" based on this recommendation. Instead, use this as a tool to help in your personal planning for a Path to Eagle.
