The SOW should contain any milestones, reports, deliverables, and end products that are expected to be provided by the performing party. The SOW should also contain a time line for all deliverables.

27 Timeline

28 Example: Eagle Scout Service Project The Five Tests of an Acceptable Eagle Scout Service Project. The proposal is an overview, but also the beginnings of planning. It shows the unit leader and any representatives of a unit committee, council, or district, that the following tests can be met. 1. The project provides sufficient opportunity to meet the requirement. 2. The project appears to be feasible. 3. Safety issues will be addressed. 4. Action steps for further detailed planning are included. 5. The youth is on the right track with a reasonable chance for a positive experience.

29 Risk Management

30 Youth Protection Practices Youth protection is of paramount importance for both the adults and youth Two deep leadership No youth left alone with a non parent/guardian Communication with youth should always include another person
