Ugh! My grandfather, Eagle class of 1932 and Eagle Scout Committee Chairman for the Lincoln Trail District for almost forty years, is spinning in his grave over this.

Eagle projects are supposed to be something that improves the community and involves your entire troop. This sounds like a fourth-grade art fair project.

Eagle projects are supposed to be something that improves the community and involves your entire troop.

The project should improve the community and demonstrate leadership skills over your peers - which doesn't simply include Scouts. Involving only Scouts is actually the easy way out.

When you find a Scout who's able to involve friends from school, church, and the neighborhood, as well as other Scouts . . . that's impressive.

Eagle projects do not have to involve the entire Troop. They don’t have to involve anyone from the Troop, although it is certainly customary. They do have to involve enough other people that the Eagle candidate has to demonstrate leadership of those people, as opposed to doing all or the majority of the work himself.
