9.0.2.10 Fundraising Issues
Projects may not be a fundraisers. In other words, the project may not be an effort that primarily collects money for your organization, even if it is for a worthy charity. Fundraising is restricted to items listed in the Material, Supplies or Tools sections on pages 13 and 14 of the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook. Scouts may request cash and or material donations from individuals, companies or organizations. They, their family, unit and sponsoring organization may also donate.
The Scout must follow one of two BSA approved fundraising methods. The specific method depends on who provides funds or donations. Any excess funds received must be retained by your organization.
If all funds or donations are received from your organization, your members, the Scout, his family, his unit and or his sponsoring organization then the BSA Fundraising Application is not required.
If requests for fundraising extends ‘outside’ the individuals and organizations listed in method 1 above then a Fundraising Application is required.
BSA restricts the types of fundraisers that the Scout may use. The Scout, his Scoutmaster and you must complete and sign the Eagle Scout Service Project Fundraising Application on page 17 and 19 of the workbook. The signed form must be submit to the District Advancement Chair for approval.
If your organization will be providing funding or holding money for the project you should indicate to the Scout the exact process you want him/her to follow when requesting reimbursement for any expenses.
