Milestone

9.0.2.7. Nothing starts before all four approvals are in

Required

The proposal must be approved before you start. That covers the project itself and any fundraising for it.

Notes and warnings

Warning. This is the single most common way an Eagle project goes wrong: a Scout starts collecting materials, or runs a car wash, before all four approvals are in. It is worth saying at the point the project is first discussed rather than after.
