Since projects vary so widely, it is difficult to give a typical time line.  In any case you should anticipate about 6 to 12 months to plan and carry out your Eagle Project.  This is especially important to consider if you are approaching, or already past, your 17th birthday.  Many steps will depend on other’s schedules, such as when the next monthly Township Supervisor’s or Parks and Recreation board meeting, your troop’s next committee meeting, vacations of key people, or when you can next meet with the District Advancement Committee.  Most steps also depend on what priority you give your Eagle project, and what other commitments you have.  These are very rough time estimates.  This overall schedule assumes that by the time the project is done, you have completed all the other requirements.

Come up with idea.  Discuss project concept with Scoutmaster or Eagle Advisor.  Work out exact requirements with organization that will benefit. 3-5 weeks

Get approval of Scoutmaster. 1 week
Get approval of Troop Committee. 1-4 weeks
Get approval of District Advancement Committee.  This may also require some revisions and multiple meetings if you are not fully prepared. 2-6 weeks
Carry out the project. 4-20+ weeks
Prepare report. 1-3 weeks
Review report with Scoutmaster and Eagle Advisor.  Revise as needed. 1-2 weeks
