19 Eagle Project: Picking a project Before we go any farther: If you have less than a month until you turn 18 and you are looking for a project, You are probably too late
20 Eagle Project : Understand the purposes Leadership: Service: Skills development: Initiative:
21 Eagle Project: Picking a project Troop mentoring and parent support at this stage are crucial What makes for a good Eagle project: Should be a project that you are enthusiastic about Must benefit your community outside Scouting Your Community can be the Community of the World Leaves something with lasting value behind which you can be proud of Doesn t have to be a physical item Requires planning and leadership of others to complete
22 Eagle Project: Picking a project Project scope: This is the critical aspect that will define a approved project and one that isn t No minimum amount of hours Guidelines are about 125 to 250 man hours, including planning Large enough to demonstrate leadership of others At least two other people Do not have to be Scouts
23 An Eagle Project CANNOT: Be a job normally done as routine labor Be performed for a business or individual unless it benefits the community Be of a commercial nature Be solely a fund-raiser Be shared by another Eagle Candidate Be of benefit to any BSA element
24 Eagle Project: Picking a project Places to look for a project City recreation departments Schools Religious organizations Non-profit organizations Look to things that interest you
25 Eagle Project: Picking a project Start by talking with Your favorite teachers Volunteer coordinators at non-profits Your minister or church youth program leader Any non-profit organizations that you or your parents are involved with Other Scouts who have completed their projects www search using Eagle Project will lead to many other ideas Check in the Tahquitz District Project Binder to see what other Scouts have accomplished
26 Eagle Project: Select a time Decide when you want to get the project completed. Set a deadline for completing the project and stick with it. Your enemy is procrastination.
27 Eagle Project: Plan the project Current Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook in a fillable PDF format is October 2015 printing available online at : dvancementandawards/resources.aspx
28 Eagle Project Workbook Eagle Project: Plan the project Three Sections Service Project Proposal Service Project Plan Service Project Report Project Proposal is all that must be approved
29 The Proposal Eagle Project: Plan the project The more detail in this section the more probable your project will be approved Accurate costs and funds available Accurate Supplies, Materials, and Tools More detail can then be transferred to the Final Plan Section
30 Eagle Project: Plan the project Once you have the OK from an Eagle Mentor, prepare an initial write-up using a soft copy (draft) of the Workbook.
31 Eagle Project: Plan the project Take before photos of your planned project Including narrative Can be inserted in.jpeg format into Project Workbook May want to include larger copies as well Include a sketch or drawing of your project What will it look like Include measurements Conceptual and technical
32 Eagle Project: Plan the project Once you know what to do then develop how to do it What help will you need? At least two other people Scouts Parents Friends Charter Organization Benefiting Organization
33 Eagle Project: Plan the project A How much will the project cost? What will materials and tools cost for the project: have an itemized list with unit costs The Fundraising Application, how will it be paid for? If your fundraising effort involves contributions only from the beneficiary, or you, your parents or relatives, your unit or its chartered organization, or parents or members in your unit, then you do not need a fundraising application. (Parents cannot be the principal source) If you will be obtaining money, materials, supplies, or donations from other sources, you may need to submit an application.
34 Eagle Project: Get your plan approved Reviews of your initial write-up; this may take 2 to 3 meetings Project must be formally signed off by each of the following: Unit Leader (Scoutmaster)* Unit Committee (authorized by the unit committee)* Beneficiary (Executive at non-profit sponsoring the service project)* District Project Chairman Be prepared: it often takes a few meetings and 4 to 8 weeks before you have all the approvals to begin. * While it makes sense to obtain approvals in the order they appear, there shall be no required sequence for the order of obtaining those approvals marked with an asterisk (*). Council or district approval, however, must come after the others.
35 Eagle Project: Get your plan approved Do not begin any work on your project, or raise any money, or obtain any materials, until your project proposal has been approved. This MUST include all four signature blocks in the proposal section
36 Eagle Project: Get your plan approved Do not begin any work on your project, or raise any money, or obtain any materials, until your project proposal has been approved
37 Eagle Project: Get your plan approved Troop Involvement in Approval Process is critical Don t rubber stamp every project Don t set Scouts up for failure at the District level Scoutmaster Take a hard look at the project based on the criteria outlined above before sending it on to the Committee Committee Insure the project is a worthy project before you sign and send the Scout to the District for approval
38 Eagle Project: Carrying out the project Project Final Plan Now fill out the Final Plan section If you used sufficient detail in the Project Proposal section this should be simply cutting and pasting with minimal changes This is where there should be sufficient detail to complete the project A guideline should be that you could hand the project book to any other scout and he could complete it
39 Eagle Project: Carrying out the project Keep detailed, daily record of project and progress to answer the following in your final write-up: Keep a log of hours by you and your volunteers Make sure to include your time and adults who help with the preliminary planning In what ways did you demonstrate leadership of others? Give examples of how you directed the project rather than doing the work yourself In what way did the religious institution, school or community group benefit from the project? Did the project follow the plan? If changes to the plan were made, explain why the changes were necessary. Include Donation Letter and Thank You letter
40 Eagle Project: Completing the project Project Final Report Write-up with the same thoroughness as an important term paper Use fillable PDF so it is easy to read Put in a binder that is labeled and well organized, Organization counts Include official BSA hard-copy of Workbook with original signatures Maintain two complete, signed off copies of your Eagle Project book District will keep one for Project Binder
41 Eagle Project: Completing the project Project Final Report Pictures are worth a 1000 words Include as many pictures as you can They can be inserted in the PDF but also include larger ones since the attached ones are often too small to really get the details They show the scope of your leadership by showing others working with you They tell the story of your project from start to finish Shows the true scope of what you did that words may not Make sure they tell the right story Don t show pics of unsafe practices Don t show pics with un-scoutlike behavior or clothing, i.e. a beer T Shirt
42 Eagle Project: Completing the project Answer the following in your final write-up: In what ways did you demonstrate leadership of others? Give examples of how you directed the project rather than doing the work yourself In what way did the religious institution, school or community group benefit from the project? Did the project follow the plan? If changes to the plan were made, explain why the changes were necessary.
43 Eagle Project: Obtain signoffs Beneficiary (Executive at non-profit sponsoring the service project) Unit Leader (Scoutmaster) Recommend you obtain signatures on two hard copy Workbooks. Your leadership service project will ultimately be reviewed at your Eagle Board of Review by the Tahquitz District.
