Eagle Scout Project Workbook Question

[ItsBrian]

Question for past Eagle Scouts, advisors, coach, whatever you want to call it.

 

Finished the 1st day of my project... Looking over my completed Plan and thought should I include the food cost in ‘Other Needs’, put the total in the little section where it adds everything up, or don’t include it at all.

 

Anything helps!

Eagle Scout and current Project Coach: 

 

I'd include it under "Other Needs"

Figured, wasn’t positive though.

 

Thanks!

What you did is fine.  It's represented and considered as part of the plan.  

 

I tell scouts to put it under supplies as the comment right above supplies says "Supplies are things you use up, such as food and refreshments, gasoline, masking tape, tarps, safety supplies, and garbage bags".

 

As long as you show your planning, what you did is just fine.

ItsBrian:  Accounting the cost of something is always important.   My wife always wonders why I like to sit down, add up the receipts from our vacation trip:  Gas, restaurants, souvenirs, admissions, parking fees, motels, etc.   From when we leave the house until we are back in our own beds.   Was it worth the cost?   Was renting a camp trailer better than staying in hotels/motels all the way?    I might not include the new tires, the oil change, the tuneup and detailing the car, but still,  it is good I think to be able to show where the money went, maybe next time  a judgement can be made and not include this, do that differently.

Food for the work crew is definitely to be included.  That's the fuel that makes things run, yes?

I don’t see where it says that on my workbook? Edited September 25, 2017 by ItsBrian

I don’t see where it says that on my workbook?

 

#1   What you did was absolutely fine.  No criticism at all.  You identified and represented your consideration.  As a Eagle proposal reviewer and EBOR member, I'd be perfectly fine with it.

 

#2  It says it in proposal page C ... To the right of the word "Supplies" ... Smaller italicized print.  "Supplies are things you use up, such as food and refreshments, ...."

 

It's not a big deal.  I just spend a lot of time in the Eagle project proposal workbook.
