El diezmo se recoge por las iglesias locales y todo se manda a la asociación local. Las iglesias locales bajo ninguna circunstancia deben retener una porción del diezmo. Las asociaciones locales toman una porción del diezmo para los usos indicados más abajo y mandan el resto de la unión. La unión hace lo mismo, mandando el resto a la división y la división manda el resto a la Asociación General.

From your list determine what percentage of your total income is spent on each item. After completing the chart and percentages, discuss with your pastor or counselor the advantages of a budget and how to stay within a budget.
The advantage of a budget is that it allows you to think objectively about your priorities and record them. It is difficult to be objective in the store when you're looking at the latest electronic "must have" gadget. Budgeting helps to control impulse buying, and if the budget is followed, it ensures that your spending is in line with your priorities. It also helps avoid the problem of running out of money before payday, because you know ahead of time how much to keep back for essential items (such as food and gas).
When making a budget, the essential expenses (including tithe!) are dealt with first. Be sure to include money for expenses that occur on a larger time scale than the budget period. Examples include income taxes and insurance payments. These are often due annually or semi-annually, but you should set aside money every month for them so that when they are due, you don't have to take money out of the budget elsewhere to cover them.
After the essentials are taken care of, discretionary spending can be added. It's also a good idea to budget for savings and investments.
After making out a new budget and trying to live with it for a month or two, it may become apparent that you forgot to budget for something. If this happens, adjust the budget (but do it in writing!) Do not adjust the budget on the fly (especially when you are in a store considering a purchase). The key to sticking to a budget is resisting purchases that are not on the budget. If you see something you've "got" to have, and it's not in the budget, stop! Don't buy it! Save your money for it, and buy it only after you have the money in hand.
Many Christians find it easier to stick to a budget if they have made it a subject of daily prayer.

The material presented in requirements one and two summarize this topic very well.

If none of the examples listed in this requirement inspire your group, take a look at all the other honors available for Pathfinders to earn. All honors are intended to develop some skill or knowledge that can be used to benefit others. Look especially in the Arts, Crafts and Hobbies, Spiritual Growth, Outreach and Heritage, Outdoor Industries, and Vocational categories.
8a
This precludes club fund raisers, unless the point of the funds raised are to go to a humanitarian cause (such as a mission trip, or disaster relief). Fund raisers for a new club trailer or camping equipment do not qualify.
8b
One interpretation of this requirement is that the Pathfinder is not to try to count something that has already been done. Another is that the activity be something new to the Pathfinder - something that he or she has never done before. The program can, however, be something that you were already planning to do.

Five hours seems scary at first, but if you look at the things you have done in the past, you will find that there are several fun activities that take more than five hours. Remind your Pathfinders of this. Our club recently earned the cake decorating honor during a lock-in. We stayed up well past midnight decorating more cakes than we would be able to eat ourselves in two weeks, and we did this all in one night. The next morning we delivered the cakes to a shelter, where they were gratefully received.
8d
This presentation could be part of the opening exercises of a regular club meeting, or it can be presented to the instructor. It should be done after the activity has been completed.
For more project ideas, see the Adventurer for Christ, Personal Evangelism, and Bible Evangelism honors. There is nothing that says you can't use the activity to count for the requirements of more than one honor or AY activity. For instance, the Voyager curriculum requires that a party for the handicapped by planned and executed. This would be a perfect way to meet the requirement of this honor, one (or more) of the others listed here, and the AY requirement as well.
