Eagle Scout Candidate Seminar A Resource for Troop Leaders To Aid Their Life Scouts in Reaching Eagle View the Trail of Tears PowerPoint

"Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project"

• "Leadership" often gets dropped from our vocabulary when discussing "the project."

• The word LEADERSHIP appears first in the official title because it's the primary focus of the required project.

  • Service is the valuable byproduct of the exercise.

Scoutmaster's Note:

• Projects are about the candidate "giving leadership" and "managing people and resources," not about him or his family doing all the work.

  • "Boy led" is the aim for the Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project.

• You are responsible for mentoring the candidates AND their families so that the "system" works for the candidates and those other Scouts participating in the project.

  • Does the candidate have a plan that meets the criteria?

  • Is he doing his part while letting others do their parts?

  • Is there too much parental or other adult involvement? 

  • You are the best judge and the District, Council, and National Council depend on you.
