Eagle Project - What are the Main Steps involved?

Eagle Scout Requirement 5
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. (The project must benefit an organization other than Boy Scouting.) A project proposal must be approved by the
organization benefiting from the effort, your unit leader and unit committee, and the council or district before you start. You must use
the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, No. 512-927, in meeting this requirement.

Here are many of the Steps that each Scout will need to go through as part of his Eagle Project:

1. Think about what you would like to do for your Eagle Project & who you want to do it for (the Beneficiary).
2. Talk with the Scoutmaster about possible Eagle Project ideas.
3. The Scout should start tracking all of his Time:
   ++ Planning, Meeting with others, Doing paperwork, & Working on the Project.
4. Meet with the Beneficiary of the Project to discuss what they need (or would like).
5. Fill out the Eagle Project Proposal portion of the Eagle Project Workbook.
6. Go over your Project Proposal with the Scoutmaster (or an Eagle Project Coach).
   ++ If there will be any Fundraising with your Project, then make sure to fill out the Fundraising Application in the back part of the Workbook too. (It will need 3 of the 4 SAME signatures on it as the Project Proposal does.)
7. Meet with the Beneficiary, go over the Project Proposal & get their signature on the Proposal (& the Fundraising Application, if needed).
8. Let your Scoutmaster look over the Project Proposal (if not already done).
9. Contact the Troop Committee Chair & schedule some time to present your Project at the next Committee Meeting.
10. Present the Project to the Committee (& get the Scoutmaster & Committee Chair's signatures on the Proposal).
11. Contact & meet with the District Eagle Chair to present the Proposal (& get their signature on the Proposal).
12. Once all 4 signatures are on the Project Proposal, then you can start coordinating workers & doing things for your Project.
13. At this point, you can also start tracking all the Time for your workers that are helping with your Project.
14. You should fill-in/use the Final Plan (center) portion of the Eagle Project Workbook at this time.
15. Use your Final Plan as your guide as you purchase needed Materials & schedule Workers to help.
16. Complete your Project in its entirety.
    ++ Don't forget to log all of the Time that you & your Workers are putting in on the Project.
17. Once your Project is finished, then fill out the Project Report portion of the Eagle Project Workbook.
18. Meet with the Beneficiary, go over the Project Report & get their signature on the Report (under the Completion Approval).
19. Meet with your Scoutmaster because you still need their signature under the Completion Approval too.
20. Make sure to keep all of this paperwork in a safe place for your Eagle Board of Review.
