He's not on his butt. He's working very hard. We have a limited timeframe to accomplish everything, but thanks for your comment.

Thanks for the info. We are very much aware that the eagle project is to be the scout's project. The only reason I am asking here is that the troop leadership has only been providing my son vague answers and he is getting quite frustrated. They have confirmed that parents can provide funding, but not answered the question of whether fundraising can be used to reimburse. The answer to this is not included in the project book. At this point we only trying to facilitate getting this answer. He will be SPL of his troop next year and has a lot on his plate, so trying to move on this during the summer.

I am having a hard time finding the answer to this question. We are interested in funding our son's eagle project upfront in order to get the building portion done during this summer. However, we do not want to ultimately fund the project for him. Is it allowable for parents to fund an eagle project, and then get reimbursed later through their son's eagle project fundraising? Can fundraising be done after the project is built?
