The Eagle Advisors are:

Working with the Eagle Advisors

We review your proposal in person at a meeting which you arrange with us by e-mail or phone call. Typically this is a regularly scheduled Monday night troop meeting. Do not assume we will be at the troop meeting.

Send your proposal to all Eagle Advisors via e-mail a day before the meeting. Also bring hard copies for all of us to the meeting. This may seem wasteful but we may not have had the opportunity to download your proposal from our e-mail.

Dress in the appropriate Scout uniform. If it is a Class A meeting, then dress in your Class A. If it is a red shirt meeting, then dress in your red shirt. When in doubt, wear your Class A.

Bring your binder to every meeting with us. This will give you a place to write down notes from our meeting regarding comments on the proposal, next steps, other people to contact, etc.

Your binder should include your communication log, proposal (multiple versions), maps, equipment lists, action plan, Scout profile, etc. This will really make your final write-up that much easier.

Troop 10 Eagle Project Guidelines

1. It is to be a leadership project. The Scout is to plan and direct the work of volunteers, not actually do the work, though he can assist at times.
2. It is NOT to be a "pair of hands" project. This means that the organization cannot direct the specific activities of the Eagle project. The Eagle candidate gets agreement with the organization on WHAT is to be done, not HOW it is to be done. The Eagle candidate must also add his initiative on what will be done to make the end result better.
3. The project must benefit the organization and community, not the Scout or Scout troop. A key person within the organization must approve BOTH the plan for the project (before actual work begins) as well as the work that was done (after completion).
4. The organization must be non-profit.
5. The project cannot be a fundraising activity for the organization. Fundraising can be part of the project to pay for materials. Materials can be donated by the organization.
6. The total number of work hours should be about 100. The Eagle candidate would provide 30-40 hours and the volunteers about 60-80 Hours cumulative. Many projects go over this.
7. The project should leave a legacy. This is very important in construction projects as we ask the question, "If you come back 3 years after your project, will you be able to point out what you accomplished?"
