Makes me proud. Still some great youth out there.
As a reviewer of many many Eagle projects, I find this one over ambitious. The Eagle project is all about leadership and leader training . The Eagle project should not involve fund raising, especially on the scale of many thousands if dollars.
This project can still be accomplished but it should be split in to more than one.
It is ridiculous to hang the albatross of many thousands of dollars around the neck of a scout who waited till the last minute for such a large endeavor. The lesson that will be learned is that his chestnuts will be pulled out of the fire by others who can’t let him fail.
