**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!

Website: www.parksvolunteers.org

Background check required: No

Minimum age of volunteers: 14

Job type: Event (1-7 days), Short-term (1-8 weeks)

Volunteer type:  Scout

Duties: Communicate with staff on project ideas; Work with scout troop on setting up project; Share details with staff on final project; Work safely on day(s) of project; Summarize project outcomes, including number of volunteers and hours.

Requirements: Safety is our number one priority - scouts must ensure their volunteers use tools properly, and that the site is secure and safe;
Scouts need to get all of the required approvals from Park staff and their scout leadership BEFORE a project can begin; Scouts need to be great communicators, meet deadlines, and great leaders of their scout troop; After the project is complete, and before we sign off on the final project report, scouts are required to either submit all of their volunteer hours (including group hours and planning time) or add them to their Park's volunteer log book.
