The Eagle Scout Rank and the Service Project
Service to others is an important part of the Scout Oath: “... to help other people at all times.” Each year tens of thousands of young men strive to achieve the coveted Eagle Scout rank by applying character, citizenship, and Scouting values in their daily lives. One of the rank requirements is to plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a service project helpful to any religious institution, school, or community. Through this requirement, Scouts practice what they have learned and gain valuable project management and leadership experience. ~ From “Navigating the Eagle Scout Service Project”.
