Soaring to Eagle

Reaching the rank of Life Scout is a major accomplishment and an important step on the trail to Eagle. At this stage, Scouts begin preparing for one of the most meaningful parts of the Eagle journey: leading a service project that makes a real difference for others.

The Eagle Scout service project is more than a requirement. It is a chance for a Scout to show leadership, planning, responsibility, and a commitment to service. A strong project should meet a real need for a school, church, nonprofit, community group, or other approved organization. It should also reflect the Scout’s best effort and demonstrate their ability to lead others.
