Background on this guide

After working with many Scouts, at both the Troop and District levels, it has become obvious to me that they do not know what was expected of them or how they should begin working their Eagle Service Projects. This led to delays and frustration in doing what was required. Since the BSA Eagle Service Project Workbook is vague, the adults helping the Scouts were free to interpret the requirements differently. These different interpretations have caused problems in advising the Scouts and in receiving approval at the district level.  This guide has been developed to help the Scouts and adult leaders understand the requirements, provide a benchmark to judge the project, and provide an aid in preparing the Project Plan.

Since 1989, I have helped more than 50 Scouts through their projects with slowly evolving versions of this guide. Even though they ranged from 13 to 17 years of age, these Scouts proved they were capable of performing to this high level and were proud of their accomplishment when their projects were complete. My criteria, as outlined in this guide, is simple -- a Scout should prepare his Project Plan in such detail that, in his absence, another Scout could successfully work the entire project, to everyone's satisfaction, doing only what was written in the original Project Plan.
