Eagle Project in Additional Info

Would it be appropriate for my son to describe his Eagle Project in the additional info section of the Common App? He has been heavily involved in three ECs and talked about one in his essay, and wrote about the other in the EC section. I feel that if he doesn't elaborate on it, it will seem like it is not that important to him. It wouldn't be an essay, just a description of what was involved and who benefitted. I am probably overthinking this, but what do you think, include it or leave it out? Thanks

I think it is noteworthy. Have him create a one page bulleted description of the project. If there is a single photo of the project, you could also paste and upload it on the single page.

Thanks, he ended up using a short newspaper article with a picure and then using bullet points to describe his effort on the project with a wrapup sentence on what it meant to him. I thought it would be kinda weird, but it looks really good
