Thank you for your interest in fulfilling your Eagle Project requirements with Bohemia River State Park! Below are the steps required to propose and complete an Eagle Scout project with us.
- Identify and propose a potential project: The Candidate should find a project that corrects a problem or enhances the amenities in one of our parks. Additionally, we also have identified projects for improvement or repair that benefit a broad community of users.
- Receive Initial Approval from Park Staff: The Candidate and Staff discuss and figure out a potential project idea, which Staff supports and approves.
- Get Park Staff Signature and official approval: The Candidate should arrange a time convenient for Staff to sign the completed “Eagle Scout Service Project Proposal” form. At this time, Rangers will help clarify the risks and safety concerns associated with the project.
- Set up the Project’s Schedule: Eagle Scout Candidates will work with Rangers to schedule dates to complete the project.
- Meet On Site: Before the project starts, the Scout and Staff should meet on site to go over the Final Plan.
- Communicate before, during, and after the Project: The Candidate should communicate a day or so before the project to confirm everything on track. If any issues arise during the work days, the Candidate is responsible for communicating with the Park Duty Ranger. The Candidate will also communicate the projects completion, or additional details as needed, at the end of the scheduled work days.
- Be responsible for the Project: Park Staff may or may not be directly on site during the project. Regardless, it is up to the Candidate to be the one to lead the project. This also means that they should be the one to initiate all aspects of the project.
- Get Completion Approval: The Candidate will arrange with Staff after the project is complete to get a signature indicating Completion Approval of the Project
