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 the time of application, and a minimum of 6 months 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:

  • Meet with Town of Castle Rock POST Partners Program Coordinator
  • Project approval by the Town of Castle Rock POST Partners Program Coordinator
  • Submit a scout application (PDF)
  • Submit a statement of commitment (PDF)
  • Submit the following Service Documents:
    Project Proposal
    Project Plan

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.
