Advice for Earning Award Make sure the youth and the advisor understand the application process thoroughly and what is expected from the projects Start early in your Scouting career, a Silver Medal takes a minimum of 18 months. If you run out of time as a Scout, become a Venturer, but remember there are separate Venturing requirements and expectations.
Advice for Projects Documentation: before, during, after, outcomes, what did you learn? Photos Was the project based on sound scientific reasoning? There is a leadership component. There is an education component (think press releases). You may use your Eagle Project as a Hornaday Project. Only one project may occur on a Scout property Go for the SILVER! If you arent awarded a silver, you can fall back on a bronze.
