[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP is correct.  There are standards for an Eagle  project and something like a one time food drive is not sufficient.[/quote]

Our District has flat out said that they want to diminish the number of Eagle projects that are drives of any sort. They were allowed during COVID because of COVID restrictions and difficulties but seemed to continue well after COVID. Today the District is only allowing drives if they are a part of a larger project. So a book drive is not considered acceptable but renovating a reading space at an ES and including a book drive as part of that is acceptable. Blood drives need to be more then just a blood drive, mainly because the Red Cross and Hospitals have that all planned out for the supporting organization.

Fairfax Parks and Rec has projects that deal with invasive species removal and replanting that are pretty cool. Our District has said that such a project needs to be more then lots of invasive plant removal so maybe ask about an area where you remove and replant and help with the purchase of the plants needed for replanting. There are also erosion projects that a Scout could look at. [/quote]
