The Self-Determined project allows members to choose, plan, carry out and evaluate a project of their choice. It begins with a project outline to the leader and must be 4 to 6 months for juniors or groups, and 10 to 12 months for senior members. Some examples of projects: landscaping your backyard, research and photo story of a family vacation, building a shelter for animals, blacksmithing, or making a quilt.
