Eagle Scout Service Project

While a Life Scout, plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a service project helpful to any religious institution, any school, or your community.

A project proposal must be approved by the organization benefiting from the effort, your Scoutmaster and unit committee, and the council or district before you start.

[2] Examples of Eagle Projects include constructing park benches, running a blood drive,[4][5] constructing a playground, building bat houses for a local park, refurbishing a room at a church or school, resetting stones at a cemetery, planting grass for erosion control, organizing a dinner, interviewing American veterans for the Library of Congress, distributing emergency medical information kits,[6] and collecting necessities for the homeless.

The rigorous nature of the required service project is a major step in the completion of the Eagle rank.

[8] Very often, the Eagle Project is what highlights the full impact of the Scouting program to the community at-large.
