My son presented a itemized list of supplies he needed for his Eagle project to the store manager while wearing his uniform. The manager said he would knock off %50 of the total bill. In this case it was about $125.

Very good thing by Lowes.

 

I noticed the qualifier: for "selected" Eagle Scouts. The link (thank you!) explains that Lowes will distribute $100 cards in block grant fashion to councils. "The council or district Eagle project review board will determine which projects qualify for a Lowe's grant. The local council will distribute its allotment of the $100 prepaid gift cards to recipients."
