Scouts are specifically prohibited from soliciting donations. All Scout-sponsored fundraisers must offer a product or service (popcorn, car wash). The Scout Council does solicit funds directly (the annual "Friends of Scouting" drive, or you can go to www.give2bsa.org), but individual Scouts and units cannot do so.

SCOUT OATH

On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.
