The Council Eagle Project Review Committee has been receiving an abundance of Eagle Scout projects to review just prior to the Eagle candidate’s 18th birthday. This situation is causing a significant difficulty for both the candidate and the volunteer committee in reviewing and approving the project to accommodate the 18th birthday deadline. The Council Advancement Committee strongly recommends any projects to be reviewed should be submitted at least six months prior to the candidate’s 18th birthday.

UPDATE 1/20/2012

There is now a new Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, no. 512-927.  The new version is a fillable PDF and is linked to this site. The workbook must be downloaded and completed on forms provided. Additional  sheets may be added as necessary.

The project review committee meets the third Tuesday of each month. Keep in mind, projects must be in by NOON on the day of the review. 

Some reminders to make the project process smoother:

1. Read the entire Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook
    
2. For convenience, a link to the required Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook is available below. The "Project Proposal" must be submitted using pages 6-10.

4. If not approved, project proposals will be mailed back within 1-2 weeks.
    
5. Using the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook and submitting the "Project Proposal" for for final approval.
