9.0.2.10. The Fundraising Application, and not with the proposal

Required May not apply Often forgotten

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Will the project need money from outside the exempt sources?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

Found in the workbook. It must not be required to accompany the project proposal, because at that point the Scout may not know enough to complete it. Councils may add definition of their own, for example preapproving bake sales and car washes or setting a dollar threshold.

Tip. Ask the council what it has preapproved before filling anything in. Councils may state that bake sales and car washes need no application, or set a threshold such as any effort expected to raise less than a stated sum.

Where this step comes from

  1. Guide to Advancement (2025), Section 9.0.2.10 · The Eagle Scout Service Project Fundraising Application, and the rule that it must not accompany the proposal.
