Thanks for all your great advice. I have talked to the people that had more to do with all of this and it looks like the scoutmaster has been the one pushing this for the kid all along. He contacted us about the project, not sure how they came up with the 600$ the needed to do the project ( even though the quoted us at 400$). He is there every day kind of pushing the kids along and making sure they are done onetime. The rush to feet this done is because the kid will be turning 18 soon and apparently it is very important to his far her that he becomes eagle scout. And around where I live they do one eagle court of honor for like 5 or 6 kids at a time. I have talked to the rest of the people that are dealing with this and if things don't improve we will either be backing out or not sighning off on his book. He is rebuilding a small storage shead roof that a different eagle scout built and he has been doing this for about 2 months now. Again thanks for all your support and your excellent feedback.

Yes I will ask for a copy of the contract before they continue, and the problem isn't with the boy, but the scout leader. We give them all the access they need during reasonable shop hours and also building time as well. Because of the nature of our place they cannot be left alone where they are building for their safety and the safety of the animals around them. I was not the one that hammered the contract out with them, but he keeps demanding repayment for the building materials. They have already started and if it doesn't get completed soon he will have to miss this batch of eagle scouts and join the next one. We have done many projects with the scouts, and enjoy doing them, but this one seems different and more of a problem then a help.

Ok so I work for a non profit company and we currently have an eagle project going on. They have been showing up unannounced, demanding meetings and access to the area when ever it us most conviant to them and now to top it all off they wants to completely cover the entire bill for the materials for the project. Now never have reached the rank of an eagle myself i have been in on a few projects with my friends. I know hey have to get the materials covered one way or another, what I need to know is, is the place benefitting from the project responsible for any of the cost of the project?
