ACHIEVING THE EAGLE RANK IS SOLELY YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!
Many people will help you along the way, including your adult advisor, your parents, and your fellow Scouts. You will also get assistance from adults on your district advancement committee, many of whom you have probably not worked with before. None of these people can earn the rank for you! It is up to you to make sure that you understand the requirements, complete them in a timely manner, and work with your Troop to submit the proper paperwork, so that your Eagle rank advancement can be completed.
Eagle Scout – Project Fundraising Policy
In a Nutshell – Scouts are not permitted, per council policy, to ask for monetary donations, donation of materials and/or discounts from anyone or any business outside of the list below unless they have submitted a fundraising form and had it approved PRIOR to fundraising efforts taking place.
Eagle Candidates may, with an approved fundraising application, ask for donations of materials or discounts on materials from companies or individuals but must first furnish a list of prospective donors with their fundraising application, per national policy, for council approval prior to soliciting the material donations or discounts.
FAQs
When does a Scout need to submit a fundraising application?
Donations of money or materials from the following sources do not require submitting the fundraising form:
- the Scout himself,
- the Scouts parents or relatives,
- the Scout’s Unit or
- Chartered Partner,
- members or parents of members of his unit or
- from the beneficiary of the project.
All other sources require the form be submitted and approved prior to fundraising efforts taking place, this includes donations of money, material donations and/or discounts on materials.
What are some exceptions in terms of discount or donation of materials?
If a Scout is given a discount at the time of purchasing materials that was not solicited by the Scout it is OK to accept it and the form is not required.
Likewise If a Scout is offered scrap or left over materials, without solicitation on his part, he may accept them and does not need to submit the application as he did not solicit the materials but was merely offered then without solicitation on his part.
Are car washes allowed?
Yes, once they are approved by submitting a fundraising application.
Is there anything that a Scout should make clear when accepting donation and/or discounts?
Scouts must make it clear to all donors of materials, those offering a discount, or event participants that the money/materials are being raised on behalf of the project beneficiary, which will retain any leftover funds or materials.
How does a Scout provide documentation of a gift?
Should any donor want documentation of a gift, this must be provided through the project beneficiary not the B.S.A., unit or council per Guide to Advancement section 9.0.2.10 (page 72).
