Ideas for Money-Earning
Projects
The following ideas are post
projects, not individual employment
efforts. All funds for goods
and services should be paid to
the post to avoid conflict with
tax and employment laws. The
post is a nonprofit organization;
individual participants are not.
Be sure the financial arrangements
of your project do not
violate child labor laws, incomeor
sales-tax regulations, or
employment regulations.
• Wash cars (perhaps at an
employee parking lot), wash
private airplanes (at a small
airport), or wash boats (at a
marina). Employees could pay
as they come to work so that
the post would have all day to
wash and/or wax these vehicles.
• Control traffic; park cars;
operate a checkroom, nursery,
or concession stand; sell
programs, take tickets, serve
as ushers, and perform other
services at community or

Planning a Money-Earning
Project
In planning a money-earning
project, your post should follow
these guidelines:
• Determine whether you
really need the money.
First, review your current
budget to be sure that
participants’ dues will not be
sufficient for your needs. If
they aren’t, determine how
much money you need to
raise for which specific needs

STEP 5

Many posts decide to purchase
equipment, take a trip, or
plan a special project that
requires additional funds.
Explorers who pay their own
way will appreciate the equipment
or trip more than those
who don’t. The decision to plan
a money-earning project should
be made by the entire post.
Once a money-earning project
has been approved, all the participants
should participate in
the project.
Posts should not seek contributions
because this violates
the policy of paying your own
way and is against Learning for
Life policy.
