Lakeshore Drive Ocoee, FL 34761 Dear City Commissioners, You are truly a community leader. With your sponsorship of children, our community will be creating "Healthy Kids" by enriching the lives of those who would never be able to afford high - quality swim lessons through physical fitness. By offering swim lessons, we can help save their lives with survival skills. The goal of the Gift of Swimming scholarship program is to directly impact the children in the City of Ocoee by making a positive difference in their lives and their family's lives. Secondary goals are to produce healthier bodies, minds and spirits by improving their self confidence, self- esteem and pride. The community as a whole benefits when children learn team skills and good decision - making. Drowning is the #1 cause of accidental death in children ages 0 -4. Drowning is the 2" leading cause of death in all children. The Gift of Swimming was established as a 501(c)3 charitable organization in 2003 to address a serious gap by providing potentially lifesaving swim training for disadvantaged and developmentally disabled children. Every child needs to learn to swim. Every child deserves to learn to swim. Every child deserves to live. Thank you for your previous support and please consider approving this $500.00 Community Grant to swim the Ocoee children.

Each year, approximately 57,000 Scouts just like you reach this milestone. And, since you're reading this, I know you are looking forward to achieving the pinnacle of your Scouting experience: the rank of Eagle Scout. Think of your Eagle Scout service project as the ultimate "application phase" of what you have learned thus far in Scouting: leadership... responsibility... managing projects... applying your Scout Oath — "to help other people." An Eagle Scout project is a crowning achievement following years of fun, adventure, and advancement. In completing it, you provide an example for others that they can do the same thing. Some may suggest how big your project should be, or how many hours should be spent on it, but that is entirely up to you. Service, impact, and leadership are the objectives and measurements. Use these as your criteria to consider, select, develop, and evaluate your project. For most, the Eagle Scout service project becomes a truly defining moment in your quest for excellence. Planning and leadership skills utilized and memories of outcomes achieved will last you a lifetime. You will want to share those stories with others, so make it a worthy project! Legendary hall -of -fame basketball coach John Wooden said, "It's not so important who starts the game but who finishes it." Let me be among the first to encourage you to take Mr. Wooden's remark to heart. You have made it to Life Scout, but Eagle represents the finish line. Keep striving. I know you will cross it, and you will be glad you did! Wayne Brock Chief Scout Executive .Scouts and Parents or Guardians Be sure to read "Message to Scouts and Parents or Guardians" on page 4 -5 and "Excerpts and Summaries From the Guide to Advancement" on page 4 -6. Those pages contain important information that will help you ensure requirements are properly administered according to National Council policies and procedures. Completing This Workbook If you are working from a printed copy of the Eagle Scout.Service Project Workbook, you may complete it legibly in ink, or with a typewriter. Feel free to add as many pages as you wish. This may be necessary if more space is needed, or as you include photographs, photocopies, maps, or other helpful printed materials. A fillable version of the new workbook is available at www.scouting.org (click on "Youth ", then "Boy Scout ", then "Advancement, Awards, Recognition "). If you experience difficulties with the fillable PDF, you may need to download a more recent version of Adobe Acrobat reader (available free online). Or, it might be necessary to use a printed copy. Although this new electronic version of the workbook is now available, the workbook will continue to be available for printing a hard copy that can be completed by hand or with a typewriter.

The official fillable version can be found at www.scouting.org.Although it is acceptable to copy and distribute the workbook, it must maintain the same appearance with nothing changed, added, or deleted. No council, district, unit, or individual has the authority to produce or require additional forms, or to add or change requirements, or to make any additions, deletions, or changes in the text, outlines, links, graphics, or other layout or informational elements of the workbook. It is permissible, however, to print, copy, or send individual pages or forms within the workbook as long as they are not changed in the process. Attention: Unit, District, and Council Reviewers Eagle Scout projects must be evaluated primarily on impact: the extent of benefit to the religious institution, school, or community, and on the leadership provided by the candidate. There must also be evidence of planning and development. This is not only part of the requirement but relates to practicing the Scout motto, "Be Prepared." However, in determining if a project meets Eagle Scout requirement 5, reviewers must not require more planning and development than necessary to execute the project. These elements must not overshadow the project itself, as long as the effort was well led and resulted in otherwise worthy results acceptable to the beneficiary. 9_3 Eagle Scout Requirement 5 While a Life Scout, plan, develop, andgive leadership to others in a service project helpful to any religious institution, any school, oryour community. (The project must benefit an organization other than Boy Scouting.) A project proposal must be approved by the organization benefiting from the effort your unit leader and unit committee, and the council or district before you start. You must use the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, No. 512 -927, in meeting this requirement. Project Purpose In addition to providing service and fulfilling the part of the Scout Oath, "to help other people at all times," one of the primary purposes of the Eagle Scout service project is to demonstrate or hone, or to learn and develop, leadership skills. Related to this are important lessons in project management and taking responsibility for a significant accomplishment. Choosing a Project Your project must be for any religious institution, any school, or your community. It is important to note, however, that the Boy Scouts of America has recently redefined "your community" to include the "community of the world." Normally, "your community" would not refer to individuals, although a council or district advancement committee may consider scenarios in which an individual in need can affect a community. It is then a matter of identifying a source representing the "community" who will provide approvals. For more information, see the Guide to Advancement, No. 33088, section 9.0.2.5. Your project must present an opportunity for planning, development, and leadership. For example, if a blood drive is chosen and the blood bank provides a set of "canned" instructions to be implemented with no further planning, the planning effort would not meet the test. You may need to meet with blood bank officials and work out an approach that requires planning, development, and leadership. This might involve developing and carrying out a marketing and logistics plan, or coordinating multiple events. An Internet search can reveal hundreds of service project ideas. Your project doesn't have to be original, but it could be. It might be a construction, conservation, or remodeling project, or it could be the presentation of an event with a worthwhile purpose. Conversations with your unit leader, teachers, your religious leader, or the leaders of various community organizations can also uncover ideas. In any case, be sure the project presents a challenge that requires leadership, but also something that you can do with unskilled helpers, and within a reasonable period of time. Restrictions • There are no required minimum hours for a project. No one may tell you how many hours must be spent on it. • Routine labor is not normally appropriate for a project. This might be defined as a job or service you may provide as part of your daily life, or a routine maintenance job normally done by the beneficiary (for example, pulling weeds on the football field at your school). • While projects may not be of a commercial nature or for a business, this is not meant to disallow work for community institutions, such as museums and service agencies (like homes for the elderly, for example), that would otherwise be acceptable. Some aspect of a business operation provided as a community service may also be considered -for example, a park open to the public that happens to be owned by a business. • A project may not be a fundraiser. In other words, it may not be an effort that primarily collects money, even for a worthy charity. Fundraising is permitted only for securing materials and facilitating a project, and it may need to be approved by your council. See "Eagle Scout Service Project Fundraising Application" on page 17. • No more than one Eagle Scout candidate may receive credit for working on the same Eagle Scout service project. • Projects may not be performed for the Boy Scouts of America, or its councils, districts, units, or properties. 1 -4 E � C i � I .�.J F � d•5 1 � �� This workbook includes valuable information that can help ensure your success. It also includes four forms: a proposal, a final plan, a fundraising application, and a project report. Before completing any of the forms, read with your parent or guardian the "Message to Scouts and Parents or Guardians." If your project is worthy and meets Eagle Scout requirement 5 as it is written, the message will help you successfully present your proposal through the approval process. Contact Information: Complete the contact information sheet with as much information as is available. Preparing the Project Proposal Go to Page 2 -1. Your proposal must be completed first. It is an overview, but also the beginnings of planning. It shows your unit leader, unit committee, and council or district that the following tests can be met. For your proposal to be approved, it must show the following: 1. It provides sufficient opportunity to meet the Eagle Scout service project requirement. You must show that planning, development, and leadership will take place; and how the three factors will benefit a religious institution, a school, or your community. 2. It appears to be feasible. You must show the project is realistic for you to complete. 3. Safetyissues will be addressed. You must show you have an understanding of what must be done to guard against injury, and what will be done if someone does get hurt. 4. Action steps for further detailed planning are included. You must make a list of the key steps you will take to make sure your plan has enough details to be carried out successfully. 5. You are on the right track with a reasonable chance for a positive experience. Your proposal need only be detailed enough to show a reviewer that you can meet the tests above. If you find in order to do that, the proposal must be lengthy and complicated, your project might be more complex than necessary. If your project does not require materials or supplies, etc., simply mark those spaces "not applicable." Remember, do not begin any work or raise any money or obtain any materials until your project proposal has been approved. If you submit your proposal too close to your 18th birthday, it may not be approved in time to finish planning and executing the project. The Final Plan Go to Page 3 -1. Complete the Eagle Scout Service Project Final Plan after your proposal has been approved. This is a tool for your use - no one approves it -and it can be important in showing your Eagle Scout board of review that you have planned and developed your project as required. For this reason you are strongly encouraged to share the final plan with a project coach. This might be the council or district person who approved your proposal, or perhaps someone who has agreed to work with you. A coach can help you avoid many problems associated with service projects, and thus improve your chance of passing the Eagle board of review. If materials, etc., were not needed, mark those spaces "not applicable." The Fundraising Application Go to Page 3 -6 . If your fundraising effort involves contributions only from the beneficiary or you, your parents or relatives, your unit or its chartered organization, or parents or members in your unit, submitting the fundraising application is not necessary. If you will be obtaining money or materials from any other sources, you must submit a completed application to the local council service center. For more information, see "Procedures and Limitations on Eagle Scout Service Project Fundraising" on page 18. The Project Report Go to Page 4 -1. Complete this portion after the project has been finished. Note the space for you to sign (confirming that you led and completed the project), and also the signature lines for the beneficiary and your unit leader's approval that your project met Eagle Scout requirement 5. As with the proposal and final plan, if materials, etc., were not required, mark those spaces "not applicable." 1 -5 Eagle Scout Candidate Full legal name: Alec David Nachtsheim Birth date: 02/25/92 BSA PID No.: 104793186 Email address: Address: 610 E.

To help offset the cost that the service units host. Events held in the past: Ice skating at the RDV for Juliette Gordon Lows birthday. Camporee, Bridging, and Leader - Daughter. Please see the attached budget for expected costs for each event. What dollar amount are you requesting? (The maximum grant award is $500.) $500 Is your organization getting funding from any other source for this specific project? All events that the service unit hosts are paid for by the girls and adults attending the events. All events have a budget and the cost is shared by all that attend. Camporee is average of $15 to $20 per person with a budget of $4000. The Juliette Gordon Low birthday event averages between $5 and $10 per person with a budget of $300 to $650 depending on the location of the event.

What is your organization's primary funding source? Troops that participate in the event. How much money does your organization receive from your primary funding source each year? We receive roughly between $4750 and $6500 between all of our events from girls and adults participating. What other sources of revenue does your organization have? We receive no other funding or revenue. What is your annual budget for this year? See attached spreadsheet Page 2 - Community Grant Program Application Last year? List the fundraisers your organization holds? As a service unit we do not have fundraisers. Girl Scouts hold 2 annual product sales each year for each troop to participate in. The profit received from these sales are decided by each troop as to how the money will be spent. Homer many members, volunteers and /or paid employees does your organization have? We have approximately 60 volunteers within the West Orange Service Unit which covers Ocoee and Winter Garden. How many live in Ocoee? Approximately 30, Hopi many clients does your organization serve? There are approximately 400 girls participating in girl scouts in the Winter Garden and Ocoee area.. How many live in Ocoee? Has your organization applied for a grant from the City before? Yes Did you receive a grant from the City of Ocoee? Yes If so, hove much money did you receive? $500 Does your organization volunteer in the Ocoee community? Yes If yes, what volunteer activities do you participate in? We've collected can goods during our Juliette Gordon Low birthday event and donated everything to West Orange Christian Service Center. Troops have worked at Nehrling Park doing clean -up. Does your organization provide a venue for Ocoee residents to volunteer? Absolutely. We are always looking for more adults to become leaders, volunteer in teaching the girls something new, or even help troops in providing places to meet. We do a big recruitment event every September to provide information on volunteering with Girl Scouts. Homy many yearly volunteer hours does your organization contribute to the community and hove are those hours tracked or documented? Most girls keep track of their volunteer hours in logs. If any volunteer hours are being used for awards, they must log and turn in with final paperwork. Our adults do not track their hours. However, based on the number of meetings they have and preplanning, most adult volunteers contribute approximately 60 hours per year at minimum. Some adult volunteers contribute another 50 plus hours if they take on additional responsibilities within the service unit like planning events, recruiting girls and adults and placing into troops, and organizing the council product sales for our service unit. Please list the specific accomplishments your organization has achieved in the past 2 months: Each year we have increased our girl membership by 5 to 10% and add another 3 to 4 troops of approximately 10 girls. Thereby expanding the number of girls that benefit from girl scouts. We are consistently out in the community by participating in city events like Christmas parades and Christmas caroling at the assisted living facilities. Please include any other pertinent information about your organization or this specific grant request that you feel would help the City in making its decision: Girl Scouts is a girl lead program. Most troops are self- sustaining by participating in council wide product sales and other money earning activities. Girls work very hard to earn money for the troop during the product sales because most families cannot afford to send their girls to camp, and other girl scout events.
