Requirement
9.0.2.6. It must benefit somebody other than Scouting America
Required Often forgotten
Projects must not be performed for Scouting America or its councils, districts, units or camps. The unit's own chartered organization is certainly a good candidate, as are other international Scouting organizations and other youth organizations.
Notes and warnings
Warning. The exception people miss is the unit's own chartered organization, which the Guide calls certainly a good candidate. A project for the church that charters the troop is fine; a project for the troop is not.
