**WE ARE NOT TAKING ON ANY NEW EAGLE SCOUT PROJECTS UNTIL EARLY 2025**Thanks for thinking of Montgomery Parks as a place for your Eagle Scout project! We often have ideas for potential Eagle projects, but the number of Eagle Scout candidates far outnumbers them. We often require the scout to seek out a suitable project and suggest it to us. Choose a park location that is convenient to you and explore the area to see which amenities you can help create or restore. Park staff will work with you to review your project proposal prior to approval. We are looking for scouts that are good communicators, can stick to a schedule and are hard workers!Follow this link to see how we like to work with scouts: Eagle Scout Guidelines
