If showing that you meet the tests requires a lengthy and complicated proposal, your project might be more complex than necessary. Remember, the proposal is only the beginnings of planning. Most of your planning will come with the next step, preparation of your project plan. If your project does not require materials or supplies, etc, simply mark those spaces "not applicable." As a reminder, do not begin any work, or raise any money, or obtain any materials, until your project proposal has been approved. Consider also, that if you submit your proposal too close to your tea` birthday, it may not be approved in time to finish planning and executing the project. Working with Your Project Beneficiary On the last two pages of this workbook there is an information sheet called, "Navigating the Eagle Scout Service Project." This is for you to print and give to the religious institution, school, or community that will benefit from your efforts. You should do this as part of your first meeting with your beneficiary and use the sheet to help explain how the Eagle Scout service project works. Be sureto read it carefully so you can explain what it says. "Navigating the Eagle Scout Service Project" will help you communicate a number of things to your beneficiary. For example, it provides thanks and congratulations for accepting the project; and it gives some background, discusses the requirements, and points out the responsibilities connected with approving your project proposal. It also explains that the beneficiary has the right to review, and also to require changes in your project plan. Again, be sure to read carefully 'Navigating the Eagle Scout Service Project" so you will have a full understanding of the role of your beneficiary. Next Step: Your Project Plan Once your proposal is approved, you are strongly encouraged to prepare your project plan using the form in this workbook. Doing so increases the likelihood your project will be approved at your Eagle Scout board of review. As you begin preparing it, you should meet with a project coach. Check with the person who handled the approval of your project proposal to learn how coaches are designated in your community. Your designated coach can help you avoid the common pitfalls associated with Eagle Scout service projects and be a big part of your success. You may also want to talk to your unit leader. There may be adults in your troop who are experts in conducting the kind of project you are planning. it's ok for you to work with them as well. The more coaching you get, the better your results will be. Beginning Work on Your Project Once your proposal has been fully approved and you have finished your project planning, only then, may you begin work on your project.
