  • With the help of your Scoutmaster, Committee Chair OR Life to Eagle Coach, find a project that is suitable for you to complete.
  • Make sure to discuss the financials of your project. How will you pay for your project? Do you have a donor? Is the beneficiary willing to help? Will you fundraise?

      • Scout
      • Scoutmaster

  • Financials – Remember talking about this early in your plan? Now it’s time to set your plans in stone.
    1. If your family and or friends are willing to cover the cost of your project, then that’s all you need to do. Collect money, purchase materials.
    2. Is your beneficiary covering the cost of your project? – Same as above – supply a list and purchase materials.
    3. Fundraising – here is where it gets a little tricky. If you plan to fundraise and your plan to fundraise over $500, you will need to have “Fundraising Application Page A” completed and signed by the Scout Executive. This page can be found also in your Eagle Scout Workbook.
  • Details, Details, Details – you want to add as many details into this section as possible.
    1. Special Note – Materials COST, Supplies COST, Tools COST, etc.
      • We want to know what everything would cost you. Even if Uncle Bob is supplying you with a skill saw. How much did it cost him? It might be free for you to use, but it cost Uncle Bob something. *Add ALL cost in.*
      • It’s Time! Time to get busy on your project. Make plans with your Beneficiary, your unit, family and friends and get to work. Make sure to take notes so you can fill in your hours worked section at the end of this section. Everyone who helps on your project and donates their time, counts toward the total project service hours. Track your time from the very beginning.
