1 Approving Eagle Projects Grand Canyon Council Bill Nelson 6/30/15 Handout for this briefing: Notes for Eagle Project Approvers, Unit Leaders and Boards of Review at
2 Approving Eagle Projects Briefing This briefing is for Grand Canyon Council Scouters at the unit, district and council level who are involved with Eagle Boards of Review and approving Eagle projects. All project approvers should be familiar with the following documents: The Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, BSA publication No (ESSPW) The Guide to Advancement (GTA): Chapter 9 The Eagle Scout Rank (BSA policies and procedures are here) 2
3 READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! Eagle Scout Candidate and project approver should read the instructions in the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook (ESSPW) READ ME FIRST document at the council website in the Eagle Scout section These documents are revised on a regular basis, if you have not read them in 6-12 months, read them again. 3
4 Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook - Sections 1. Introduction and instructions Tells what is required for project approval 2. Eagle Scout Service Project Proposal Section used to document proposal 3. Eagle Scout Service Project Plan Section used between beneficiary and Scout to plan the completion of the project 4. Eagle Scout Service Project Report Section to document project for board of review 4
5 EVALUATING A PROJECT PROPOSAL Have the Scout explain his project before you read his proposal and acknowledge he has read the entire workbook Remind him his signature in the proposal section affirms he has read the entire workbook Review the proposal section in the workbook You can t require anything more than what is requested there The BSA workbook (ESSPW) must be used There is a place at the end of the section for signatures showing approval (district signs last) GTA What an Eagle Scout Candidate Should Expect 5
6 EVALUATING A PROJECT PROPOSAL Conduct the proposal review in a helpful, friendly, courteous, and kind-hearted manner. Respect the Scout s dignity. The Scout can choose to have a parent, unit leader, or other adult present as an observer at any time he is discussing his proposal or project with someone who is reviewing it. GTA What an Eagle Scout Candidate Should Expect 6
7 The 5 Tests for an Eagle Project Proposal approval shows that the following five tests have been met: We will discuss these 5 tests in detail 1. The project provides sufficient opportunity to meet the requirement. 2. The project appears to be feasible. 3. Safety issues will be addressed. 4. Action steps for further detailed planning are included. 5. The young man is on the right track with a reasonable chance for a positive experience "Proposal Must Be Approved... Before You Start" 7
8 1. The project provides sufficient opportunity to meet the requirement. While a Life Scout, plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a service project helpful to any religious institution, any school, or your community. (The project must benefit an organization other than Boy Scouting.) A project proposal must be approved by the organization benefiting from the effort, your unit leader and unit committee, and the council or district before you start. You must use the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, No , in meeting this requirement. Eagle Scout requirement 5 8
9 "While a Life Scout..." Work on a project, including planning, begins after the Life Scout board of review. This is not meant to stop a Star Scout from talking with his Scoutmaster, religious leader, or principal about what a good project might be. GTA "While a Life Scout..." 9
10 "Plan, Develop..." Detailed planning takes place between the beneficiary and the Scout AFTER the proposal is approved. It is documented in the Project Plan section. The high level plan for future planning is documented in the proposal section. The district does not sign off on the project plan Do not categorically reject projects that on the surface, may not seem to require enough planning and development. A good test of any project is to evaluate its complexity. Example: Blood drives might be complex enough if there is planning, development, and leadership. GTA "Plan, Develop..." 10
11 "Give Leadership to Others... Others means at least two people besides the Scout. Can be anyone The number would depend on how many it takes to get the job done. It may be that a well-chosen project conducted by only three people provides an impact not achievable with projects involving more. Every project must be evaluated, case-by-case Is there opportunity to give leadership? For some Scouts leadership is second nature, for other Scouts who have never had to lead before, leading just a few people is a challenge. GTA "Plan, Develop..." 11
12 "Give Leadership to Others... Councils, districts, and units shall not establish requirements for the number of people led, or their makeup, or for time worked on a project. Don t expect Scouts from different backgrounds, with different experiences and different needs, to work towards a standard. There is no minimum amount of time (e.g., no 100 hour minimum) Do not communicate an average amount of time (that infers a minimum) GTA "Plan, Develop..." 12
13 "Helpful to Any Religious Institution, Any School, or Your Community" Any religious institution or any school Your Community Normally not for an individual For a Scout, community is world wide. May not be of a commercial nature or for a business Aspect of a business s operation provided as a community service may be considered (e.g., a public park) Need not be a registered nonprofit Council Advancement Committee can make exceptions in certain cases where the community would benefit "Helpful to Any Religious Institution, Any School, or Your Community" 13
14 "Benefit an Organization Other Than Boy Scouting" Projects must not be performed for the BSA or its councils, districts, units, camps, etc. The unit s chartered organization is fine "Benefit an Organization Other Than Boy Scouting" 14
15 EVALUATING A PROJECT PROPOSAL Project expectations will match Eagle Scout requirement 5, no more, no less Do not require proposals to include more than described in the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook. GTA What an Eagle Scout Candidate Should Expect 15
16 "Proposal Must Be Approved... Before You Start" The detail required for a proposal depends on project complexity. It must be enough to meet the 5 tests. There is no requirement that enough documentation is presented that another Scout can read it and execute the project "Proposal Must Be Approved... Before You Start" 16
17 "Proposal Must Be Approved... Before You Start" Every attempt should be made to complete the approval process in ONE meeting. He should be challenged to work on his planning action steps and to consider scheduling time with his Eagle Scout service project coach for progress reports and further guidance (see GTA "Eagle Scout Service Project Coach," ) "Proposal Must Be Approved... Before You Start" 17
18 "Proposal Must Be Approved... Before You Start" If a Scout fundraises or begins a project before approval: A Scout should select a different project. If circumstances are compelling the Scout may be allowed to carry on and have his proposal or project approved after the fact "Proposal Must Be Approved... Before You Start" 18
19 "Proposal Must Be Approved... Before You Start" NOTE: The project beneficiary can stop work on an approved project at any time. If enough has been done such that the requirement's intent has been met then the project should still be given final approval "Proposal Must Be Approved... Before You Start" 19
20 "Proposal Must Be Approved... Before You Start" Under no circumstances shall project approval at any point in the process be withheld for reasons that have nothing to do with the project Evaluating the Project After Completion 20
21 "Use the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook" Scouts must use the official Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook as produced by the Boy Scouts of America. No council, district, unit, or individual has the authority to: require additional forms add or change requirements make any additions, deletions, or changes in the text, outlines, graphics, or other layout or informational elements of the workbook. GTA "Use the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook" 21
22 "Use the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook" The workbook should not become a basis for rejecting candidates based on "technicalities" that have nothing to do with the intent of the requirement. While the use of the workbook is required, this does not mean that every line or even every form must be completed. In most cases Scouts should fully complete the proposal and project report, and be strongly encouraged to complete the project plan. GTA "Use the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook" 22
23 "Use the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook" If the project was completed and approved, and meets Eagle Scout requirement 5 as it is written, then the project should be considered. If a hardship, or a poor use of time to fill in missing information or obtain a signature of a party who is unavailable or by some other means known to have approved it, then accept it. It is a project that we require. Boards of review should use common sense: Did the project meet the requirements or not? The workbook should not become a basis for rejecting candidates based on "technicalities" that have nothing to do with the intent of the requirement. GTA "Use the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook" 23
24 Eagle Scout Requirement 5 While a Life Scout, plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a service project helpful to any religious institution, any school, or your community. (The project must benefit an organization other than Boy Scouting.)A project proposal must be approved by the organization benefiting from the effort, your unit leader and unit committee, and the council or district before you start. You must use the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, No , in meeting this requirement. Eagle Scout requirement 5 24
25 5 Tests for an Eagle Project Proposal approval shows that the following five tests have been met: 1. The project provides sufficient opportunity to meet the requirement. 2. The project appears to be feasible. 3. Safety issues will be addressed. 4. Action steps for further detailed planning are included. 5. The young man is on the right track with a reasonable chance for a positive experience. When the reviewer is satisfied the above tests can be met, then approval is granted "Proposal Must Be Approved... Before You Start" 25
26 ADDRESSING RELATED ITEMS 26
27 Appealing If the candidate believes he has been mistreated or his proposal wrongfully rejected, he will be provided a method of redress. This will include the opportunity for a second opinion and approval, either through another volunteer or the Council Advancement Chairman GTA What an Eagle Scout Candidate Should Expect 27
28 Fundraising Issues Projects may not be fundraisers. May not stage an effort that primarily collects money. Fundraising is permitted only for securing materials and otherwise facilitating a project. For a detailed discussion on project fundraising see the guide: Notes for Eagle Project Approvers, Unit Leaders and Boards of Review at GTA Fundraising Issues 28
29 Routine Labor Routine labor is not normally considered appropriate for a project. A job or service that a Scout may provide as part of his daily life, or a routine maintenance job normally done by the beneficiary (for example, picking the weeds on the football field at a school). Test: scale and impact. If routine labor is conducted on so large a scale it requires planning, development, and leadership, it may have sufficient impact Routine Labor 29
30 Addressing Common Misconceptions Eagle Scout service projects are individual matters. No more than one candidate may receive credit for working on the same project. GTA Addressing Common Misconceptions 30
31 Addressing Common Misconceptions There is no requirement a project must have lasting value. Any plans completed after the project proposal has been approved by the council or district are between the Scout and the beneficiary. For the role of beneficiaries see: Navigating the Eagle Scout Service Project, that is posted on the council Eagle page, and is included in the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook. GTA Addressing Common Misconceptions 31
32 Changes Changes should be shared with unit leader, project coach and beneficiary If changes will cause results to fall below what is required, then cautionary advice is in order. Except under extreme circumstances, it is not acceptable for unit, or council or district, approval to be withdrawn. If the young man decides to strike out on his own, this is his prerogative. At some point, responsibility must take over. After changes, the board of review decides whether planning was sufficient and if the requirement was met "Proposal Must Be Approved... Before You Start" 32
33 Time Keeping Remind the Scout to start recording hours spent on the project. Time spent talking about project (count all people) Time spent writing things down Time spent calling people Time spent pricing and purchasing supplies and materials Travel time related to project etc. Most Scouts short change themselves on hours worked on a project. 33
34 Evaluating the Project After Completion Eagle Scout service projects must be evaluated primarily on impact The extent of benefit to the religious institution, school, or community, and on the leadership provided by the candidate. There must be evidence of planning and development. In determining if a project meets requirement 5, reviewers must not require more planning and development than necessary to execute the project. These elements must not overshadow the project itself, as long as the effort was well led, and resulted in otherwise worthy outcome acceptable to the beneficiary. GTA Evaluating the Project After Completion 34
35 Evaluating the Project After Completion Scout must be granted a Board of Review if he feels he has successfully fulfilled the requirement even if the Scoutmaster or beneficiary disagrees. See: Initiating Eagle Scout Board of Review Under Disputed Circumstances," in the Guide to Advancement GTA Evaluating the Project After Completion 35
36 Evaluating the Project After Completion It would be rare for a board to reject a project if beneficiary and unit leader agrees the project was completed satisfactorily. Under no circumstances shall project approval be withheld for reasons that have nothing to do with the project. GTA Evaluating the Project After Completion 36
