Scout Award Projects

The POST Partners Program offers opportunities for scouts wishing to complete a project towards an award or rank advancement. Scouts must be at least 15 years old at time of application, and a minimum of 120 days away from turning 18, in order to be considered for a project.

Each scout must follow these required steps prior to starting work with the Town of Castle Rock POST Partners Program: 

Upon project completion, rosters and waivers are required to be submitted along with a final project write-up. Project write-ups must include a final material list and costs.
