Structure
The Eagle Scout Project Workbook is an essential tool for Scouts working towards one of the highest ranks in Scouting. This form serves multiple purposes, guiding Scouts through the planning, execution, and reflection phases of their service project. It includes sections for outlining project ideas, identifying community needs, and detailing the steps required to bring the project to fruition. Scouts are encouraged to engage with their project beneficiaries and obtain necessary approvals, ensuring that the project aligns with both personal goals and community interests. The workbook also emphasizes the importance of leadership, as Scouts must demonstrate their ability to lead a team of volunteers throughout the project. Additionally, the form requires Scouts to document their experiences and outcomes, fostering a sense of accountability and personal growth. Overall, the Eagle Scout Project Workbook is not just a checklist; it is a comprehensive guide that helps Scouts develop valuable skills while making a positive impact in their communities.
Common mistakes
-
Inadequate Planning: Many candidates rush through the planning phase of their project. It’s essential to outline each step clearly. This not only helps in the execution of the project but also demonstrates your ability to organize effectively.
-
Neglecting to Involve Others: Some individuals forget to seek input from their project beneficiaries or advisors. Engaging others can provide valuable insights and ensure that the project meets the needs of the community.
-
Incomplete Documentation: Failing to fill out all sections of the workbook can lead to delays or even rejection. Each part of the form is designed to capture important details about your project, so make sure everything is filled out thoroughly.
-
Ignoring Feedback: After submitting the workbook, some candidates do not take the feedback seriously. It’s important to review any comments or suggestions from your advisor. This will improve your project and help you learn from the experience.

Message From the Chief Scout Executive
Congratulations on attaining the rank of Life Scout. Each year, approximately 57,000 Scouts just like you reach this milestone. And, since you’re reading this, I know you are looking forward to achieving the pinnacle of your Scouting experience: the rank of Eagle Scout.
Think of your Eagle Scout service project as the ultimate “application phase” of what you have learned thus far in Scouting: leadership. . . responsibility. . . managing projects. . . applying your Scout
Some may suggest how big your project should be, or how many hours should be spent on it, but that is entirely up to you. Service, impact, and leadership are the objectives and measurements. Use these as your criteria to consider, select, develop, and evaluate your project. For most, the Eagle Scout service project becomes a truly defining moment in your quest for excellence. Planning and leadership skills utilized and memories of outcomes achieved will last you a lifetime. You will want to share those stories with others, so make it a worthy project!

Those pages contain important information that will help you ensure requirements are properly administered according to National Council policies and procedures.
Completing This Workbook
If you are working from a printed copy of the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, you may complete it legibly in ink, or with a typewriter. Feel free to add as many pages as you wish. This may be necessary if more space is needed, or as you include photographs, photocopies, maps, or other helpful printed materials.
A fillable version of the new workbook is available at www.scouting.org (click on “Youth,” then “Boy Scout,” then “Advancement, Awards, Recognition”). If you experience difficulties with the fillable PDF, you may need to download a more recent version of Adobe Acrobat reader (available free online). Or, it might be necessary to use a printed copy.
At the time of this printing, the national Advancement Team was actively coordinating the production of a new electronic version of the workbook. If testing proves successful, we will replace the fillable PDF version with it. Regardless, the workbook will continue to be available for printing a hard copy that can be completed by hand or with a typewriter.

Only the Offcial Workbook May Be Used
Eagle Scout candidates must use the offcial Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, No.
No council, district, unit, or individual has the authority to produce or require additional forms, or to add or change requirements, or to make any additions, deletions, or changes in the text, outlines, links, graphics, or other layout or informational elements of the workbook. It is permissible, however, to print, copy, or send individual pages or forms within the workbook as long as they are not changed in the process.
Attention: Unit, District, and Council Reviewers
Eagle Scout projects must be evaluated primarily on impact: the extent of benefit to the religious institution, school, or community, and on the leadership provided by the candidate. There must also be evidence of planning and development. This is not only part of the requirement but relates to practicing the Scout motto, “Be Prepared.” However, in determining if a project meets Eagle Scout requirement 5, reviewers must not require more planning and development than necessary to execute the project. These elements must not overshadow the project itself, as long as the effort was well led and resulted in otherwise worthy results acceptable to the beneficiary.

Meeting Eagle Scout Requirement 5
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 beneft an organization other than Boy Scouting.) A project proposal must be approved by the organization benefting 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.
Project Purpose
In addition to providing service and fulfilling the part of the Scout Oath, “to help other people at all times,” one of the primary purposes of the Eagle Scout service project is to demonstrate or hone, or to learn and develop, leadership skills. Related to this are important lessons in project management and taking responsibility for a significant accomplishment.
Choosing a Project
Your project must be for any religious institution, any school, or your community. It is important to note, however, that the Boy Scouts of America has recently redefined “your community” to include the “community of the world.” Normally, “your community” would not refer to individuals, although a council or district advancement committee may consider scenarios in which an individual in need can affect a community. It is then a matter of identifying
a source representing the “community” who will provide approvals. For more information, see the Guide to Advancement, No. 33088, section 9.0.2.5.
Your project must present an opportunity for planning, development, and leadership. For example, if a blood drive is chosen and the blood bank provides a set of “canned” instructions to be implemented with no further planning, the planning effort would not meet the test. You may need to meet with blood bank officials and work out an approach that requires planning, development, and leadership. This might involve developing and carrying out a marketing and logistics plan, or coordinating multiple events.
An Internet search can reveal hundreds of service project ideas. Your project doesn’t have to be original, but it could be. It might be a construction, conservation, or remodeling project, or it could be the presentation of an event with a worthwhile purpose. Conversations with your unit leader, teachers, your religious leader, or the leaders of various community organizations can also uncover ideas. In any case, be sure the project presents a challenge that requires leadership, but also something that you can do with unskilled helpers, and within a reasonable period of time.
Restrictions
•There are no required minimum hours for a project. No one may tell you how many hours must be spent on it.
•Routine labor is not normally appropriate for a project. This might be defined as a job or service you may provide as part of your daily life, or a routine maintenance job normally done by the beneficiary (for example, pulling weeds on the football field at your school.)
•While projects may not be of a commercial nature or for a business, this is not meant to disallow work for community institutions, such as museums and service agencies (like homes for the elderly, for example), that would otherwise be acceptable. Some aspect of a business operation provided as a community service may also be
•A project may not be a fundraiser. In other words, it may not be an effort that primarily collects money, even for a worthy charity. Fundraising is permitted only for securing materials and facilitating a project, and it may need to be approved by your council. See “Eagle Scout Service Project Fundraising Application” on page 17.
•No more than one Eagle Scout candidate may receive credit for working on the same Eagle Scout service project.
•Projects may not be performed for the Boy Scouts of America, or its councils, districts, units, or properties.

How to Use This Workbook
This workbook includes valuable information that can help ensure your success. It also includes four forms: a proposal, a final plan, a fundraising application, and a project report.
Before completing any of the forms, read with your parent or guardian the “Message to Scouts and Parents or Guardians” found on page 21. If your project is worthy and meets Eagle Scout requirement 5 as it is written, the message will help you successfully present your proposal through the approval process.
Preparing the Project Proposal (Pages
Your proposal must be completed first. It is an overview, but also the beginnings of planning. It shows your unit leader, unit committee, and council or district that the following tests can be met. For your proposal to be approved, it must show the following:
1.It provides suffcient opportunity to meet the Eagle Scout service project requirement. You must show that planning, development, and leadership will take place; and how the three factors will benefit a religious institution, a school, or your community.
2.It appears to be feasible. You must show the project is realistic for you to complete.
3.Safety issues will be addressed. You must show you have an understanding of what must be done to guard against injury, and what will be done if someone does get hurt.
4.Action steps for further detailed planning are included. You must make a list of the key steps you will take to make sure your plan has enough details to be carried out successfully.
5.You are on the right track with a reasonable chance for a positive experience.
Your proposal need only be detailed enough to show a reviewer that you can meet the tests above. If you find in order to do that, the proposal must be lengthy and complicated, your project might be more complex than necessary.
If your project does not require materials or supplies, etc., simply mark those spaces “not applicable.” Remember, do not begin any work or raise any money or obtain any materials until your project proposal has been approved. If you submit your proposal too close to your 18th birthday, it may not be approved in time to finish planning and executing the project.
The Final Plan (Pages
Complete the Eagle Scout Service Project Final Plan after your proposal has been approved. This is a tool for your
The Fundraising Application (Pages
If your fundraising effort involves contributions only from the beneficiary or you, your parents or relatives, your unit or its chartered organization, or parents or members in your unit, submitting the fundraising application is not necessary. If you will be obtaining money or materials from any other sources, you must submit a completed application to the local council service center. For more information, see “Procedures and Limitations on Eagle Scout Service Project Fundraising” on page 18.
The Project Report (Pages
Complete this portion after the project has been finished. Note the space for you to sign (confirming that you led and completed the project), and also the signature lines for the beneficiary and your unit leader’s approval that your project met Eagle Scout requirement 5. As with the proposal and final plan, if materials, etc., were not required, mark those spaces “not applicable.”

Documents used along the form
The Eagle Scout Project Workbook is a vital document for Scouts pursuing the rank of Eagle Scout. It serves as a guide for planning and executing a community service project. However, several other forms and documents accompany this workbook, each serving a specific purpose in the Eagle Scout application process. Below is a list of these essential documents, along with a brief description of each.
- Eagle Scout Application: This form is the official application for the Eagle Scout rank. It collects personal information about the Scout, including achievements, leadership roles, and references.
- Letters of Recommendation: Typically, three letters are required from individuals who can speak to the Scout's character, leadership abilities, and contributions to the community. These letters are submitted along with the Eagle Scout Application.
- Project Approval Form: Before beginning the Eagle Scout project, Scouts must obtain approval from their local council. This form outlines the project details and ensures it meets the necessary criteria.
- Final Report: After completing the project, Scouts must document the outcomes and experiences. This report summarizes the project, the impact on the community, and personal reflections on the process.
- Service Hours Log: This document tracks the hours spent on the project by the Scout and volunteers. It provides a detailed account of the time invested in planning and execution.
- Budget Sheet: Scouts must prepare a budget that outlines expected costs and funding sources for the project. This sheet helps manage finances effectively throughout the project.
- Wisconsin Motorcycle Bill of Sale: For those involved in motorcycle transactions, it's essential to have a formal record. The autobillofsaleform.com/motorcycle-bill-of-sale-form/wisconsin-motorcycle-bill-of-sale-form serves as a key document to ensure the sale is recognized legally, safeguarding both the seller and buyer in Wisconsin.
- Project Timeline: A timeline is essential for planning the various stages of the project. It helps keep the Scout and volunteers on track to meet deadlines.
- Permission Slips: If the project involves minors or requires access to specific locations, permission slips from parents or guardians may be necessary. These ensure that all participants are authorized to take part.
- Photo Documentation: While not a formal document, taking photos throughout the project is crucial. These images can be included in the final report or used during the Eagle Scout Board of Review to illustrate the project’s impact.
Each of these documents plays a significant role in the Eagle Scout journey. Together, they help ensure that the project is well-planned, executed, and documented, reflecting the Scout's commitment to service and leadership.
Similar forms
The Eagle Scout Service Project Proposal is a vital document that shares similarities with the Eagle Scout Project Workbook. Both documents serve to outline the details of a proposed project, including objectives, materials needed, and timelines. The proposal allows Scouts to gain approval from their unit leaders and the council before proceeding, just as the workbook provides a structured way to document the project’s planning and execution. Each emphasizes the importance of community service and personal growth through leadership and project management.
The Scoutmaster Conference form also resembles the Eagle Scout Project Workbook in its purpose of facilitating communication and reflection. This form records discussions between a Scout and their Scoutmaster regarding the Scout’s progress and future goals. Similar to the workbook, it encourages Scouts to think critically about their experiences and aspirations, fostering a deeper understanding of their journey through Scouting.
The Eagle Scout Rank Application is another document that shares key features with the Eagle Scout Project Workbook. Both require detailed information about the Scout’s achievements and contributions to the community. The rank application serves as a formal record of the Scout’s qualifications for the Eagle rank, while the workbook captures the essence of the service project, showcasing the Scout’s leadership and commitment to service. Each document plays a crucial role in the overall evaluation of a Scout’s readiness for the Eagle rank.
The Life to Eagle Transition Guide is also similar to the Eagle Scout Project Workbook. This guide provides essential information and steps for Scouts as they move from the Life rank to Eagle. Like the workbook, it emphasizes the importance of planning and executing a significant service project. Both documents help Scouts navigate the requirements and expectations of the Eagle Scout process, ensuring that they are well-prepared for the challenges ahead.
The Eagle Scout Reference Form bears resemblance to the Eagle Scout Project Workbook as well. This form collects feedback from individuals who can attest to the Scout’s character and accomplishments. Just as the workbook documents the details and impact of the service project, the reference form highlights the Scout’s leadership qualities and community involvement. Both are essential in presenting a comprehensive picture of the Scout’s readiness for the Eagle rank.
The Eagle Scout Project Workbook, like many other planning documents, is essential in fostering responsibility and achievement in various projects. For those looking to document their involvement in extensive activities, resources are available online that can provide additional support and clarity. One such resource is the editable Alabama Motor Vehicle Bill of Sale form, which you can find at https://billofsaleforvehicles.com/editable-alabama-motor-vehicle-bill-of-sale/, ensuring that you have the proper documentation for your transactions.
Lastly, the Eagle Scout Service Project Final Report is closely related to the Eagle Scout Project Workbook. This report is completed after the project’s completion and serves to summarize the entire experience. It includes reflections on what was learned, challenges faced, and the overall impact of the project. Similar to the workbook, it emphasizes the importance of documentation and reflection in the Scouting journey, ensuring that Scouts can articulate their experiences and growth effectively.
