Life-to-Eagle Help for Scouts and Parents

EAGLE PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

1) With the help of the Scoutmaster, Life-to-Eagle Coordinators, parents, community leaders, and the internet, select a service project that has meaning to you. You will lead this project. Your Scoutmaster and Life-to-Eagle Coordinators can help you “size” your project. The project needs to be large enough for you to show leadership skills and not be so large that it would take hundreds of hours to complete. At this point, start recording the date and time in hours that you are spending on developing your project plans.

2) Collect your Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook from your Life-to-Eagle Coordinator after you make Life Scout Rank. You may choose to use an electronic version of the Workbook, click here. You will need to fill in your plans in the correct areas in the workbook.

1) Schedule an appointment with the Troop Committee Chairman to present your Eagle Project plans to the Troop Committee. The Committee meets once a month. If the Committee determines your plans are not complete, they will give advise on how to improve your plans and you will be asked to return the following month.

2) Once you have the approval of the Troop Committee, be sure and get the Scoutmaster and Committee Chairman to sign in the appropriate place in your book. If you are working in an electronic workbook, please print the pages needed for signatures. You will also need to have the appropriate signature from the organization that will be benefiting from your project.

3) Call Mr. Don Bennett to make an appointment to meet with the District Eagle Board. You will present your plans to this board. If there is no clear benefiting organization, the District Eagle Board may appoint a community representative for you.

4) AFTER you get signed approval from the District Eagle Board, you may start your project.

5) Continue to record dates and time you are spending planning and carrying out your project. At the end you will need to document how much time you spent planning and how much time you spent carrying out the project. You will also need to start recording the dates and time each person spends on your project. This includes your family as well as any scouts and friends. Each person will need to be listed in your workbook after you have completed the project. If you are using a paper workbook, you will need to type up your list of helpers with the dates and times they worked and then fold it up and tape it to the correct place in the workbook.

6) Document the project, preferably with photographs. You may staple additional pages to the top right hand corner of page 7 (Carrying out the Project) or top left hand corner of page 8.

7) After the project is completed and you have attached your documentation of the final project, sign your workbook. You will then need to collect signatures again from your Scoutmaster and from the benefiting organization.

8) Bring your Boy Scout Handbook to your Scoutmaster to have him sign this requirement.
