Share your Eagle Scout service project ideas
Looking for ideas for a good Eagle Scout service project? Wondering what type of Eagle Scout projects that other Scouts are doing? Use this message board to share ideas or tell others about your Eagle project.
Remember, all Eagle Scout service projects are important, but no two are exactly alike. It’ll be up to you to find the right project for you, but these might help you get thinking.
We’ve started the conversation with six examples from the March 2010 issue of Boys’ Life magazine. Take a look and then share your own.
Thx boys life! I love ur magazine. I’m going to create a directory for my local cemetery, along with adding benches and refurbishing any headstones in disrepair
A kid in my troop moved a clothing bank. It only took two days.
My eagle project involved making and mounting bat houses in my local community park.
if any1 can answer this it would be gr8. can funding consist of asking companys for money because my dad is a company owner and gets a lot of eagle scout canidates asking 4 money
My Counsel allows boys to ask companies for donations to help with Eagel Scout Projects. However, the “actual” project itself can not be a fundraiser. Raising funds to do the project and figuring out how to aquire the funds need for the project is a leadership skill. There are lots of companies out there that are willing to help, some do require a non-profit number (of the beneficiary) in order to get donations. Hope that helps.
There are specific guidelines and forms involved with raising funds for an Eagle Scout project, and every penny must be accounted for. But they are an absolutely acceptable and often necessary part of an Eagle project (just not the entire project).
no, but you can ask them for money to help with your eagle project
I am planning on installing an inground irrigation system in the front lawn of a maternity home for women in crisis pregnancies.
My son when to a local wildlife rehabilitation facility. They were hopeing to get a injured golden eagle but needed to get the facility ready and get permits. He researched the requirments for housing an golden eagle, and built a new habitat for this injured bird. A new Eagle Scout build a home for a Eagle….. awesome project and a lot of fun.
For my Eagle Project, I organized a hope walk for a lady who had Breast Cancer and I raised Breast Cancer Awareness in my community. It was a lot of work and it was a really unique project. I did it because I am interested in the medical field and also my Grandma is a Breast Cancer survivor.
For all who are looking for a project, do something you like to do! If you don’t want to build a trail outside, then don’t do it!
We have a scout in our Tropp trying to do something like this. Could you give me more details on your project? How many people were involved in the walk and how did you demostrate results or outcomes?
I am really into the theatre arts. There aren’t a lot of community theatres where I live. It could be a cool thing for the community or something. I don’t know if I could do something for school, I’m not sure, and it would have to be acceptable for the requirements. I also would enjoy doing something for animals. It should also be something where I don’t need a lot of funds or fundraising
i need ideas on what i should do for a project..
Pick soomething that you would enjoy doing. Not something that you would consider a chore.
I want to do something that’s not the same old building something out of wood or scooping dirt. But idk where to start….
My son did a coat drive for his school. We see a kid who walked to school every day and didn’t have a coat, so we went to the school and asked if we could donate coats for kids in need, then asked the library, and town hall if we could put a donate box there. We placed boxes every where we could, then contacted the news papers. After they ran his story we had thousands of coats donated, which we donated to 8 schools in need.
same here buddy but ive been planing to donate clothes all around the world and get clothes from neghbors churches and family members but i need more ideas i want to do something that will stun the world a project that will go on the news i want to be the kid of the 2013 eagle project of the year…..
for my project i am going to our parish cemetary and replacing all the old broken headstones any suggestions for anything else
You could also polish all of the tombstones. I would just make sure that you would not have anyone get upset at you.
I’m into sports and physical activities. Any ideas of how to incorporate this with my eagle project??
if there are any ballparks or other sports facilities that need lots of work you could fix them up
You could set up a day camp and teach kids the fundamentals of whatever sport you like
hmmm i want to do a trail at a nature park near my home any idea how i could finance that? that will be like really expensive
Do something with special olympics. You could start an athletic equipment drive and eventually donate it to the special olympics.
good idea
