Get Eagle Scout Donation Form

Construction-based Eagle projects often cost upwards of $1000, while restoration Eagle projects can cost less than $300. On average, most Eagle projects will fall around the $500-$800 range, once all expenses are taken into account.

Be the better man – Be an Eagle Scout. As was noted above, Eagle candidates and their families are not supposed to pay for the material expenses for their Eagle projects. In many cases, the benefiting organization will either provide or pay for any materials needed for the project.

The most common funding options for Eagle Scouts projects have traditionally included car washes, garage sales, bake sales, and donations from friends and family. Also, some organizations provide funding for Eagle projects.

Since the Boy Scouts of America is a 501(c)(3) organization, all contributions made are fully tax deductible to the maximum amount allowed by law.

Unless you're very close to the Eagle Scout, your gift would typically be no more than $50. Many of the gift items mentioned earlier would cost anywhere from $20-$50. However, if you're giving cash or gift cards, the customary amount is between $10 and $25.

If you're not fundraising from solely your family, troop, or project beneficiary, you must first obtain approval from the project beneficiary and your unit leader. Then, you must submit the fundraising application to our council service center at least two weeks in advance of your fundraising efforts.
