Grants for Eagle Scout Service Projects Available from Lowe’s

The Lowe's Charitable and Educational Foundation continues to offer $100 Discover gift card grants to Eagle Scout candidates to use toward their Eagle Projects.
In 2012 – 13 more than 3,000 Scouts received these grants for their Eagle Scout service projects, and we hope to exceed that number during the 2013 - 14 program.

So far, 175 councils are participating and more than 1200 Eagle Scout candidates have received grants.The grants are administered through volunteers in each local council. Scouts interested in the opportunity should contact their local council service center. They may use the grant application form found at

Councils not yet participating in the Year 2 Lowe's service project impact grant program will find more information by visiting www.scouting.org/TrailToEagle or by sending a message to lowes.grant@scouting.org.

The BSA thanks the Lowe's Charitable and Educational Foundation for its generous support of Scouting across the country. Through this unique program, thousands of Life Scouts hard at work on their Eagle Scout service projects will grow through the experience of putting the grants to work for the benefit of their communities.
