Requirement
4.4.1.4. Separate and distinct from any Eagle or Summit project
Required Often forgotten
A youth's Quartermaster, Eagle and Summit service projects must be separate and distinct from each other. The same rule is stated from the other side at 4.4.0.1, 4.3.1.4 and 4.3.2.2.
Notes and warnings
Warning. The one that catches a young person doing well in two programs at once. A Sea Scout who is also a Life Scout, or a Venturer working toward Summit, must run separate projects for each. The Guide states this three times over (here, at 4.4.0.1 and at 4.3.2.2), which is a fair indication of how often it comes up.
