    There are some strict limitations on what tools scouts are allowed to use. And, for an Eagle project, it's not about the Scout doing all the work. It's about planning, developing, and showing leadership. Enlisting the aid of others is important but those others aren't required to be scouts. Part of it is figuring out who has the skills to do what is needed to complete the project.

    Thanks everyone for your thoughts.

    Good questions about the project. The young man running it is doing a great job for those reasons. He took on a massive amount of work in restoring the whole school house. It could really be five different eagle projects. As Dave mentioned it’s about leading and coordinating and raising funds. I volunteered to help with the shutters. I will be teaching the woodworking merit badge to some scouts along the way and they’ll be getting service hours for their next rank. It’s a great scout and community project.

    I appreciate everyone helping me think through the design.
