We have a guidance Document on completing the paperwork: EagleProcess9.pdf (mytroop.us)

The three important parts of an Eagle Project are: Plan, Develop, Lead

Projects can be undertaken at any time when you are a Life Scout - they do not need to be left to the end

All Eagle Project workdays need to be posted on the Troop Calendar

Check the calendar before requesting workdays to ensure that there is no conflict with Troop Events or other Projects

All workdays need to have two deep adult participation

Candidates should come the troop meetings preceding their workdays to explain their projects and encourage participation from other scouts

You need four signatures on the Proposal before you can start work or fundraising: Beneficiary / Scoutmaster / Committee Chair / District Rep (Mrs Whatley). Generally you will need to allow time so that you can meet with the Scoutmaster and Mrs Whatley to get their signatures.

When requesting dates are on the Calendar please be sure to provide a write up that can be used

• What is your project about
• Why is it useful
• Who is it for
• When is it
• Where is it
• What should people bring
• What is being done each day

Remember projects are about Leadership. It is the candidate's responsibility to advertise / market the project so that enough youth participate for them to demonstrate Leadership. In the end this may mean that dates have to be moved around - dates and times have to be convenient to others not just to you.

You need to collect the start and finish time for all volunteers on the date of the Eagle Project, these numbers should be turned over to the Advancement Chair as soon as possible upon the completion of the work day

We held a "Cage Clean" out last Monday

It has made a great difference already: thanks to all the participated

There is more to be done - watch out for the next opportunity to come along and help - the more hands the faster the work

Signup will be on the Calendar
