Eagle Project Requirements:
While a Life Scout, plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a service project helpful to any religious institution, school, or community. (The project should benefit an organization other than Boy Scouting.) The project idea must be approved by the organization benefiting from the effort, your Scoutmaster and troop committee and the council or district before you start.

Here are some examples of Eagle projects that have been used:
----------------------
1979: My Eagle project was to promote volunteer opportunities for the Association for Retarded Citizens. The work involved creating, reproducing and distributing fliers, contacting local businesses to aid in promotion, and getting local media outlets to make public service announcements to recruit volunteers. The results weren't stellar -- the ARC showed a 10 percent increase in volunteer applications from the previous year, but it was impossible to determine which, if any of the applications were influenced by my efforts. The ARC, however, did write a letter expressing appreciation of my efforts.
----------------------
Date unknown (I think the early 1980's): A local scout made the news when he started a project to mark all the area fire hydrants. The plan was to plant an 8-10 foot metal sign post next to every fire hydrant so that the metal bar extended approximately 5 feet above the ground, and then paint the top 6" bright orange. Although snow drifts often cover hydrants completely in the winter, even in Rochester, they are rarely more than 4' high. A quarter century later, many of those poles are still maintained by local fire department authorities.
----------------------
Mid 1990's: A scout I knew organized a painting party to paint the interior meeting rooms of a local church/day care center. The project took 2 weekends and involved recruiting the talents of a local artist who created on one of the meeting room walls a collage mural depicting several story elements from the book of Genesis.
----------------------
All 3 were acceptable projects according to the Eagle Board of Review.

How many service hours are required for Eagle Scout?
There is no set requirement for the number of service hours to earn Eagle Scout. You are probably referring to the service project component of the rank. One of the requirements for Eagle Scout is to "plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a service project". The project needs to benefit an organization other than the Boy Scouts.These projects can be fairly simple or quite elaborate. The often overlooked key is leadership. The Scout must involve others in his project. Projects must be approved by an Eagle Board of Review and this group will determine if the project is substantial enough to qualify.The project must be a significant contribution to the community, and a significant challenge to the Scout. There is no set minimum, and that is explicitly stated in the Boy Scout literature. Statistics would suggest that the average project involves about 200 person hours including planning and carrying out the project, but there have been projects well over 1000 hours, and some as little as 100 hours.The last eagle scout in our troop needed 96 hours to the best of my knowledge.
Are there Eagle Scout Scholarships?
There are Eagle Scout Scholarships for the 'top' eagle scout in certain councils. The definition of 'top' is the young man who exemplifies the Scout Oath and Law in all that he does.
