Eagle Scout Project Guidelines and Ideas
Please consider the following when approaching the Town about any Eagle Scout Project:
- The Scout must present a specific Eagle Project proposal, with location specified, for Town approval.
- The Scout must plan to provide all planning, development, fundraising and leadership for any Project.
- No Eagle Project will be considered without a complete Eagle Scout Service Project Proposal, form 512-927.
- Due to manpower and resource constraints, only 2-3 Eagle Projects will be approved per calendar year.
- Eagle Projects for the Town must be completed during the months of April thru October each year.
- 1½ - 2 months’ notice is required prior to beginning an Eagle Project on any Town Property.
Parks or Forestry/Open Space-related Eagle Scout Project possibilities (Scout decides most locations):
- Tree replacement (5-15 trees, depending on site selection).
- Open Space cleanup (see online Open Space map for location proposal).
- Passive (“social- or Horse-”) trail repair or restoration in Open Space.
- Open Space wildlife habitat restoration (when/where determined by Open Space Division)..
- Work with Town’s GIS Division to design and produce a Prairie Loop Trail map/guide/circuit.
- Shrub or Perennial replacements where needed on Town properties (as determined by Parks Division).
- Install Recycle bins in more highly-trafficked parks (examples: Tallman Meadows, Railbender, Salisbury).
- Design/install Raptor Poles (nest platforms) in Town Open Space.
- Restore Salisbury Open Space horse obstacle course (with input from Parker’s horse community).
- Other similar projects, or bring your own ideas to the Town..
