About the Grant

A generous contribution from the Lowe's Charitable and Educational Foundation has made it possible for local councils to present selected Eagle Scout candidates with a $100 prepaid Discover gift card to be used toward their service projects.

Life Scouts who are planning a construction-based project may apply.

The Los Padres Council was awarded 10 awards to be distributed. The Vice President of Program, Lynn Johnson and the council grant selection committee will review which projects qualify for a Lowe's National Eagle Scout Project Impact Grant prepaid $100 gift cards. Cards must be used to purchase building materials and equipment for the Eagle candidate's service project. The Discover gift card may be used at any place the Discover Card is accepted.

Qualifications

To qualify for a Lowe's National Eagle Scout Project Impact grant, the individual must

  • Be a registered Life Scout.
  • Complete and submit the Lowe's grant application .
  • Be sure the Eagle Scout service project has all approvals before the work begins.
  • Use the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook to document the results of the service project. Make photographs and all documentation available to the BSA for sharing with Lowe's.

Things You Should Know

  • If you plan to spend your gift card at a Lowe's location, you should consider speaking with the local store manager when you arrive. This will help Lowe's track how well the program is being received.
  • Document your project with "before" and "after" photographs. Be sure photographs show how the materials and equipment purchased with the gift card were used for your service project.

Our Thanks to Lowe's

The Boy Scouts of America thanks the Lowe's Charitable and Educational Foundation for its generous support of Scouting across the country. Through this unique program, thousands of Life Scouts who are hard at work on their Eagle Scout service project will benefit from the contribution. Communities and organizations will benefit, too.
