101 Amazing Eagle Scout Project Ideas

The Eagle Scout Project is the largest and most recognizable part of earning the rank of Eagle. Eagle Scouts are known for their work in improving community areas such as parks, schools and trails. But deciding what you want to do for your project can be a very difficult. In this article, I’ll give you 101 ideas for your Eagle Project. Remember that the project is designed to benefit an organization other than Scouting in the community. I recommend reaching out to organizations you are/were apart of in the area and seeing if they are in need of any services. For example, my Eagle Project involved building garbage cans for the local recreational soccer club that I both played and refereed for.

Now here are 51 ideas that you could do for your own Eagle Project. A lot of these ideas come from Eagle Projects I’ve seen in my community or personally taken apart in.
