🦅 New Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook Now Available!
Scouts BSA has released the October 2026 edition of the Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook. It’s shorter, easier to use, and focused on what Scouts need to do to complete their project.
What’s new:
✅ Same five parts: Information for Beneficiaries, Project Proposal, Fundraising Application, Project Plan, and Project Report
✅ Fewer pages: The Scout’s portion is now 22 pages, down from 32 in the 2023 edition
✅ Project plan required: Scouts must use the workbook’s project plan
✅ Firm report deadline: The project report must be completed, signed, and dated before the Scout’s 18th birthday
✅ Better PDF: Fixes several Adobe PDF problems from the 2023 edition
✅ Stronger guidance: New guidance on safety and Safeguarding Youth
Already started in the 2023 workbook? If your project proposal was fully approved before January 1, 2027, you can finish with that workbook.
Starting January 1, every Scout needs the beneficiary and Scoutmaster to approve the project plan before starting work, regardless of which workbook they use.
