Dear Eagle candidate,

This document is the LIFE TO EAGLE GUIDELINES workbook, Part 1, Published by South Florida Council, 1995.  The forms included here cover pages 23-42 of that publication.  In order to comply with copyright restrictions, I must now credit South Florida Council, Inc., and Boy Scouts of America.  O.K., they’re credited. Thanks, guys.
Currently 17 Templates are included this document. If your experience with documenting your Eagle project is anything like that which I have seen in the past, you will likely go through numerous revisions in order to properly complete your book.  I spent several hours creating this and have checked it closely for errors.  Should there yet be any, please call them to my attention. Good, bad or indifferent, I’d like to hear your input on this workbook and suggestions for improving it. As these suggestions come in, I will create additional forms to make the documentation of Eagle projects more efficient.
If you need additional motivation and have internet access, visit http://www.ithaca.ny.us/Orgs/Scouts/sclrshps.html
You won’t be sorry.
I hope this workbook has now eliminated one of the headaches of the Eagle project for youÖ.
So GET BUSY!

Yours in Scouting,

Doug Roach
