We wish to
assist you in development of your Scout project.
Consider your resources and abilities when
selecting a project. Some troops specify a monetary
value ($200-$400) for each project and commit funding as
well as time to the projects. The City of Mesa is not
able to help fund projects, Scouts are solely
responsible for all associated costs of the project.
When your project selection has been made, call the
appropriate contact person:
You will have a period of
thirty (30) days from the date of your initial meeting
with the appropriate contact person to submit a
written detailed schedule of the scope of work.
Included in this schedule
should be:
