14. Eagle Service Project Workbook Project Description High level overview of project – detail to come Indicate: What group will benefit Why it will benefit Project Description

15. Eagle Service Project Workbook Project Description For my project, I will supervise the collection and organization of school supplies for the 420 students at Ivey Lane Elementary. Based on the requests from the faculty and staff at Ivey Lane, I will provide single subject spiral notebooks, pencils, scissors, glue sticks, and crayons for the students. These students are in need of basic school supplies such as paper, pencils, crayons, scissors, and glue. Some reasons why the students need new supplies is they live in an extremely high poverty area with 85% of the students coming from single parent homes with most of those parents being unemployed. Another example is, that over 95% of the students in this school are on the free and reduced national lunch program. To be able to qualify for the free and reduced lunch program, your annual income must be below the national poverty level. After my letter writing campaign, car washes, and donations from various school supply vendors, I will direct the purchase of the needed supplies and have them transported to Ivey Lane. All supplies will be placed in the cafeteria where each bag will be filled. Each grade level will be designated by a particular colored sticker. Kindergarten will be red, 1st grade will be blue, 2nd grade will be green, 3rd grade will be yellow, 4th grade will be red with a black stripe, and 5th grade will be blue with a black stripe. Each child's supplies will be placed in a grocery bag labeled with the correct colored sticker for easy identification. All completed bags will be taken to individual classrooms, the kindergarten bags taken to each kindergarten classroom, the 1st grade bags taken to each 1st grade classroom, etc. All bags will be given to the children when they arrive in their classroom for their "Meet Your Teacher Luncheon" on August 4, 2006 at 12:00.

16. Eagle Service Project Workbook Project Benefits My project will be of benefit to the group because: The school children in this inner-city elementary school do not have the basic school supplies, and are in desperate need of them. One reason why the students need new supplies is they live in an extremely high poverty area with 85% of the students coming from single parent homes with most of those parents being unemployed. Another example is, that over 95% of the students in this school are on the free and reduced national lunch program. To be able to qualify for the free and reduced lunch program, your annual income must be below the national poverty level.

19. Eagle Service Project Workbook Project Details Plan your work by describing the present condition, the method, materials to be used, project helpers, a time schedule for carrying out the project, the estimated cost of the project, and how the needed funds will be obtained. Describe any safety hazards you might face, and explain how you will ensure the safety of those carrying out the project.

20. Eagle Service Project Workbook Project Details Ivey Lane Elementary is an inner-city elementary school in Orlando, Florida. This school has approximately 420 students. These students are in desperate need of basic school supplies such as paper, pencils, crayons, scissors, and glue. One of the reasons these students need new supplies is they live in an extremely high poverty area with 85% of the students coming from single parent homes with most of those parents being unemployed. Another example is, that over 95% of the students in this school are on the free and reduced national lunch program. To be able to qualify for the free and reduced lunch program, your annual income must be below the national poverty level. It is my goal to supply the 420 kindergarten through 5th grade students with the basic school supplies they are in need of. Each of the 173 kindergarten and 1st graders will receive one eight count pack of crayons, two glue sticks, two single subject spiral notebooks, 6 pencils, and one pair of scissors. Each of the 245 2nd- 5th graders will receive one 24-count pack of crayons, two glue sticks, two single subject spiral notebooks, 6 pencils, and one pair of scissors. I will be conducting a letter writing campaign, a series of car washes, and donations from various school supply vendors. It is my intent to have my project completed by the last week of July, 2006 in order for the children to begin school on August 7, 2006 with their brand new school supplies. There are no safety issues involved with my project.

30. Eagle Service Project Workbook Changes Anything you feel altered your original design Needed extra material Delay in starting Delay in securing materials or monies Extra costs Major changes may require a project rewrite Don’t let ‘scope creep’ get in the way Consult your Scoutmaster or adult with you on the project if you start to feel uncomfortable Stick to your guns Changes

31. Eagle Service Project Workbook Changes List any changes made to the original project plan and explain why those changes were made. Instead of using the email to contact people I used the phone because I didn’t get the response I was hoping for by email. Not enough people would see that they had an email from me so there wasn’t a lot of help until I saw this problem. At first I wanted to do a patrol competition for food collection, but because of lack of participation instead of doing a patrol competition, I asked every scout to please bring at least five cans of food if they could. At first people in my troop said that I wouldn’t need to fund raise. They said that they would help find a way to get the supplies I needed, but that didn’t work out. Next, I went to two Home Depot stores, and two Lowes stores and one Ace Hardware Store to see if they would donate materials or money to help me with my project. When I asked they said that they had already over exceeded their donation limit for the year. The Oviedo Lowes gave me a 10% discount on the project materials. Then I decided to ask local businesses if they would like to sponsor a shelf. By using this method, I received donations from 3 companies to sponsor shelves, plus an unexpected major donation from the Winter Springs Rotary Club. That is how I obtained the funding for my project. Instead of buying 12’ boards I bought 16’ boards to save money and to limit the scrap wood. Changes
