Service Project Worksheet
Troop 156 has a long, proud tradition of guiding Scouts to Eagle. Part of that success comes from the learning that occurs as a Scout gives service while advancing through the ranks for Star and Life. As a part of the six (6) hour service project requirements for those ranks, a Scout is expected to initiate his own project in order to begin to learn the elements of planning and leadership that will be needed for his Eagle service project. The Scout-initiated service project must be a minimum of two (2) hours work for Star and a minimum of four (4) hours work for Life.
This worksheet is designed as a planning and evaluation tool for the Scout, and will assist both the Scoutmaster and the Board of Review in guiding the Scout’s development toward Eagle readiness.
