Hi,
General question here but not sure where else to classify it.
Can an Eagle candidate run an eagle service project for a private school?
Guide to Advancement:
9.0.2.5 “Helpful to Any Religious Institution, Any School, or Your Community” “Any religious institution” and “any school” are selfGUIDE TO ADVANCEMENT | 67explanatory. But what does “your community” mean? In today’s world of instant communications and speedy travel, we are affected more and more by what goes on all over the world. Prices for goods and services, investment values, our very safety, and how we feel about those less fortunate in other countries, all are involved. Thus, if Scouts want to take their oath “to help other people” more expansively and put their projects to work for the “community of the world,” they are allowed to do so. A council may emphasize more local efforts but should not deny worthy projects of a wider scope…
The project beneficiary need not be a registered nonprofit. Projects may not be of a commercial nature or for a business, but this is not meant to disallow community institutions that would otherwise be acceptable to the council or district advancement committee.
Thank you
