And you're right about that. It is supposed to be a service project. Here is the actual wording of the requirement:
While a Life Scout, plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a service project helpful to any religious institution, any school, or your community. (The project should benefit an organization other than Boy Scouting.) The project plan must be approved by the organization benefiting from the effort, your Scoutmaster and troop committee and the council or district before you start. You must use the http://www.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/512-927.pdf, in meeting this requirement.
So while it is a service project, it is supposed to involve giving leadership to others in carying out that project. Many would say the leadership aspect is the most important part.
