Similar to an issue CAP faced with Private Pilots being paid back more than "splitting" the cost of the flight.
I wondered how EAA did it, especially in experimentals and less than Private ratings.
The restrictions put on the flights are very similar to our O-Rides, but not typical SAR flights.
Also of note, the photograph used is of a CAP pilot in front of an Archer III, talking to kids. Yet the image filename is entitled "Young-Eagles.jpg"
Could be that CAP EAA MOU perhaps.

Or a CAP member who doesn't quite understand that you don't wear the uniform just whenever. Unfortunately we've had a few of those.

No context on the photo. Why assume he's wrong? And why turn it into a uniform thing?
CAP & EAA could have been doing a joint thing and someone snapped a photo of this guy standing in front of his personal plane that he wheeled over onto the tarmac. Its a decent photo that unfortunately lacks a little context. Without being SURE, how about we give the guy the benefit of the doubt?
Hence as I said, "could be the MOU"..
Yeah, could have just been helping out on the ground, we do it here all the time.
