EAGLE PROJECTS

The following information has been gathered from a variety of sources such as Eagle project write-ups, newspaper articles and Court of Honor programs. Thus the details available about the projects varies greatly and the descriptions will vary accordingly.

Eagle projects were first required about 1966 and the BSA requirements for Eagle projects have changed with time. As you will see, some of the earlier projects were conducted for the Boy Scout organizations, something that is not permitted today. It also needs to be stated that the primary requirement of an Eagle Project is that the Scout conducting the project demonstrate leadership. There is no minimum hours required for a successful project.

We are always looking for additional and better information. If you have copies of Eagle projects where our data is sketchy, we would appreciate it if you could share it with us (see the introductory page for how to contact us).
