I will accept both donations of books and money towards the purchase of new books. I hope to promote this project through the distribution of flyers, announcements made at places like Trinity Baptist Church, advertisements in local publications, and the word-of-mouth of interested Scouts, whose parents and friends can make donations. Additionally, I plan to build a web site for this project, which will contain all the project's important information. Through the web site, people will be able to access the most up-to-date information and will have a convenient way to contact me with questions or donations. One of the important goals of this project is to collect books related to computers and technology, these being personal interests of mine. I hope to make the benefitting library's technology section both current and complete. Because of the changing nature of technology, many of these books will have to be purchased new. This will be done with money collected from donations and from fundraisers. If the library wishes, Boy Scouts could be recruited to label, sort, and repair the books collected. } \medskip \leftline{\sl What group will benefit from the project?} \medskip \moveright 20 pt \vbox{\offinterlineskip \halign{ \strut # \hfil & \hskip .8 in # \hfil \cr Aurora Public Library (South Branch) & (303)\thinspace 693--1440 \cr \noalign{\hrule} \smallsans Name of religious institution, school, or community & \smallsans Telephone No. \cr } } \moveright 20 pt \vbox{\offinterlineskip \halign{ \strut # \hfil & \hskip 1 in # \hfil & \hskip .25 in # \hfil & \hskip .25 in # \hfil \cr 15324 E.

Describe any safety hazards you might face, and explain how you will ensure the safety of those carrying out the project. \noindent If appropriate, include photographs of the area before you begin your project. Providing before-and-after photographs of your project area can give a clear example of your effort. \medskip } \leftline{\bf The Present Condition:} \smallskip To describe the present condition of the library's technology section, I simply counted books using the library's indexing system. I can evaluate my project's success simply by comparing this number to the number of books my project provides. \smallskip There are approximately three shelves of books of the type I want to collect. These are found in sections 004--006. According to the library's computer records: \medskip \halign{ \hfil # & \quad \hfil # \cr Number of books in section 004: & 354 \cr Number of books in section 005: & 450 \cr Number of books in section 006: & 48 \cr Total: & 852 \cr } \medskip Of these books, 655 were published since 1994. Also, there are about 30 books on computer repair, in section 621. \medskip \leftline{\bf The Method:} \smallskip First of all, I will accept books and monetary donations personally, through flyers and the project's web site. Information regarding the project will be distributed by me, interested Scouts, and announcements at Queen of Peace Catholic Church and the pancake breakfast fundraiser, described below. In order to demonstrate my leadership ability, I will coordinate and hold a pancake breakfast, with the assistance of Troop 171. The proceeds from this fundraiser will be used to purchase new books for the library. In total, I hope to collect at least 250 books, at least 50 of which relate to technology and are sufficiently recent, and \$200 in donations. \medskip \leftline{\bf Materials to be Used:} \smallskip To collect donations and transport materials, I will use my personal vehicle. For the fundraiser, Troop 171 has offered to donate the stoves and the facility will most likely be Trinity Baptist Church. Disposable plates, silverware, etc., will be donated by my family. \medskip \leftline{\bf Project Helpers:} \smallskip I will be assisted by Boy Scout volunteers from Troop 171. They will provide most of the labor for the pancake breakfast and will be responsible for much of the flyers' distribution. Adults from the Troop will cook the food. \medskip \leftline{\bf Time Schedule:} \smallskip \halign{ \hfil # & \hfil # & # --- & # \hfil \cr 01--02&Jul&2000&Announcement \& flyers at Queen of Peace church\cr 26&Aug&2000&Pancake breakfast\cr 02&Sep&2000&Final donation of books to the library\cr } \medskip \leftline{\sl ``Before'' Photographs} \medskip {\it (None)} \medskip \vfill \eject \leftline{\sl Approval Signatures for Project Plan} \medskip \leftline{\sl Project plans were reviewed and approved by:} \medskip \halign{ \strut # \hfil & \hfil \qquad # \qquad \hfil \cr & \cr \noalign{\hrule} \smallsans Religious institution, school, or community representative & \smallsans Date \cr & \cr \noalign{\hrule} \smallsans Scoutmaster/Coach/Advisor & \smallsans Date \cr & \cr \noalign{\hrule} \smallsans Unit committee member & \smallsans Date \cr & \cr \noalign{\hrule} \smallsans Council or district advancement committe member & \smallsans Date \cr } \medskip \noindent {\sl IMPORTANT NOTE: You may proceed with your leadership project only when you have\dots} \medskip \item{---} Completed all the above mentioned planning details \item{---} Shared the project plans with the appropriate persons \item{---} Obtained approval from the appropriate persons \vfill \eject \leftline{\bf CARRYING OUT THE PROJECT} \vskip 1pc { \sl \noindent Record the progress of your project.

My total income was \$340.10, creating a profit of \$273.77. \medskip \leftline{\sl Changes} \medskip \noindent {\sl List any changes made to the original project plan and explain why those changes were made.} \medskip There were no announcements made in publications, for a lack of funds and time. For the Spanish mass at Queen of Peace, I produced a Spanish translation of the main flyer. The library preferred to sort and catalog the books for itself, so no Scouts participated in this. The pancake breakfast was held September 2nd. The books were donated the following Friday, September 8th, to work with the library's schedule. \medskip \leftline{\sl Summary} \medskip I consider my project a success. I exceeded my goals with only the few changes in plan noted above. If I had this project to do over, however, I would have done a few things differently. I would have advertised the breakfast better. Far fewer people showed up than I expected, but they were more generous than I expected, too. I would have sought more corporate donations. While I was able to keep costs fairly low, I might have been able to cover all my expenses without using donations had I visited a few more stores. I am especially grateful to the members of Troop 171 who provided so much assistance, my Eagle advisors David Ernst and Chris Easton, and the staff of the Aurora Public Library, especially Program Librarian Barbara Schneller. \vfill \eject \leftline{\sl Photographs} \medskip \leftline{\sl ``After'' Photographs} \medskip \noindent {\sl Including photographs of your completed project (along with the ``before'' photographs with the project description) helps present a clearer overall understanding of your effort.} \vskip 6.5 in These pictures and more, along with a comprehensive summary of the project, may be found on the web at 171 Recon's web site: {\tt http://171recon.freeservers.com/outings/}. \vfill \eject \leftline{\sl Approvals for Completed Project} \medskip \noindent {\sl Start date of project:} 10 Aug 2000\par \noindent {\sl Completion date of project:} 08 Sep 2000 \medskip \noindent {\sl The project was started and has been completed since I received the Life Scout rank, and is respectfully submitted for consideration.} \medskip \halign{ \strut # \hskip 1.5in \hfil & \hfil \qquad # \cr & \cr \noalign{\hrule} \smallsans Applicant's signature & \smallsans Date \cr \noalign{\medskip \noindent \sl This project was planned, developed, and carried out by the candidate.} & \cr \noalign{\hrule} \smallsans Signature of Scoutmaster/Coach/Advisor & \smallsans Date \cr & \cr \noalign{\hrule} \smallsans Signature of the representative of religious institution, school, or community & \smallsans Date \cr } \vfill \eject \end
