  • Committee Chairperson
  • Council Representative
  • Project Coach
• Using feedback from the people in the previous step, use the changes and transfer them into the Final Plan found in the Eagle Project Application
• Place a signup and announce your project to the troop and make sure to inform them of potential tools they need to bring to your project. On the signup sheets you will need to at least include their names, tools they are bringing and contact information (phone number and/or email address)
• Send an email out via the Scoutmaster or Committee Chairperson to the troop to let those not at the meeting know of your project
• If you need more work hours for the project, go door to door asking neighbors if they would come and/or ask other family members and friends to come help.
• Using a road map of the area, find the entrance(s) and potential intersecting roads. Then make directional signs with arrows to direct people to your project.

First Day of the Project

• Before your project, go along the road, the project is on and place signs at the predesignated locations.
• Walk around your project’s work area and take Before Project pictures for the Project Report.
• When the project volunteers arrive, divide them into their job assignments and set out sign-up sheets for people to sign in and out
• Complete the project. Make sure you go from group to group making sure they are properly completing their given task. Also give mainly positive feedback and when criticism is needed make sure you give feedback about how to improve.
• Clean up all tools, materials, supplies and anything left over by the volunteers or you.
• If you feel necessary remove the signs before you leave and if you have more than one day save the signs for the following day(s).
