Eagle Phase
"Self Reliance - Leadership - Wisdom"
Eagles are known for their leadership, keen eyes and senses. They have reached a height that allows them to see danger, thus avoiding problems before they occur. This metaphor embodies the student's newfound ability to rise above and make decisions based on a clear and realistic picture. They make decisions and behave in a way that will result in positive and healthy outcomes rather than negative consequences.
During the Eagle phase, the students’ positive behaviors and leadership abilities are honored by significant ceremonies and rites of passage more elaborate than during any other phase of the program. These ceremonies are designed to build a sense of achievement, responsibility, and self esteem that will stay with them after the program is over.
