[quote=Anonymous]My son is an Eagle Scout candidate and he has been contacting numerous organizations with his ideas for his service project.  Once in a while, he will receive an email expressing interest, but then the interest generally fades away and they stop responding to him.  He has contacted animal shelters, homeless organizations, community organizations, parks and rec etc.  He is getting depressed and frustrated and I'm worried that he is going to throw the towel.  Most of his friends became Eagle scouts by doing a service project for their church.  We are not religious and we do not belong to a church  We have contacted some churches, but most of them give their projects to the scout troop of their home church.  I'd like to help him with some new ideas.  We really didn't think that it would be this difficult to find a project.  One of the animal shelters was very interested in his ideas and he was excited an put together his project book and then they basically ghosted him and completely stopped responding.   I try to stay as little involved as possible because this is really HIS project and HE needs to do the work, but it is breaking my heart at this point to see him so defeated.[/quote]
