Eagle Scout Projects

Leave a Lasting Impact on Your Community

The focus of the Eagle Scout project is concentrated on developing leadership skills and providing service to a local institution or the community. Your involvement in an Eagle Scout project will have a lasting impact on you and the members of your community.

Responsibilities of the Eagle Scout

The city receives many requests each year to provide Eagle Scout projects. Please remember, it is the responsibility of the scout, in keeping with the spirit of the eagle project, to approach the city with their own idea for a project and then to work closely with the city in implementing the proposal.

We invite you to tour the city, looking for areas that need improvement. A big portion of your project may be the raising of adequate funds to complete the project. Please don't assume that projects will be funded by the city.
