He needs to pick a project that has more meaning than "replacing a few Dog Dishes" for Eagle Scout.

Lighten up, Francis. The Eagle project is about public service. Dogs don't go to the park by themselves.

If he thinks of, plans, and executes a project that benefits the public...more power to him.

What was your project?

In the interest of full disclosure, I was a Life Scout, two merit badges and an Eagle project away from Eagle when my father left us. I quit. I regret it every day. I wish I had that accomplishment to point to when admonishing my sons to stick with things and succeed.

>>>>"What was your project?"<<<<

I cleaned 2 miles of the Clackamas River bank (both sides) but adults tried to make it what it wasn't, I did it because it was dangerous, exciting and I loved the river. Adults tried to make it Ecology and Mankind is Evil yada yada yada and by the way that was a 4H project, Scouting had even more overbearing adults, which is why I left it.

"Lighten up, Francis" is one of my favorite lines! I've actually used it in very similar situations as the Movie.
