Please note - BSA changed the process in 2012, and the new process is significantly different than previous directions.
If you have a project idea you must follow the steps below before you can begin work.
1. Outline your project in a paragraph or so, detailing the work you will be doing, the expected result, and an approximate cost and time to complete. This must be presented to our Scoutmaster, Mr. David Chase, for review.
2. If your project passes the Scoutmaster review, meet with our Eagle coordinator Mr. Brian Chase to confirm the project will meet the necessary requirements for an acceptable Eagle scout service project at the Council and National level. At this time you should have your paragraph, any additional notes, and "before" pictures of your project.
3. If your project meets the guidelines, you will need to fill out the appropriate Project Proposal form, which is reviewed and signed by several troop leaders, and is submitted for approval, after which you will be scheduled for a project proposal review with an Old Colony Council representative. Please note, if your project involves fundraising a special form must be submitted at that time.
At this point you will have received a letter from Old Colony Council confirming your project is approved, and can begin fundraising and physical work on the project.
As you are working through the Eagle scout service project process you should be working in parallel to complete all required merit badges for Eagle and any other requirements (time in rank, leadership roles, etc) and should be meeting regularly with Mr. Brian Chase and Mr. John Kelley, our Eagle scout coordinators.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Chase.
