Guidelines for Eagle Scout Leadership Project
INTENT
It is the intent of this document to provide unit adult leadership, Life Scouts, and their parents with a set of guidelines that will assist them in the development of an Eagle Scout Leadership Project.
The question is often asked, "What makes a good project". The short answer is "any project that allows the scout to demonstrate his leadership skills." Unfortunately, this answer does not provide any guidance. It is also unfortunate that most Life Scouts do not appreciate all of the different opportunities they have to demonstrate their leadership skills during the planning and execution of their projects. This guide is designed to help them.
Next are 15 criteria that have been identified that provide a scout with an opportunity to demonstrate his leadership skills. Each criterion is explained and a sample rating scale has been provided to indicate how much leadership is required for each criteria.
