Well, our pack doesn't have any written policy about cashing out or transferring an individual account. The committee voted to OK cashing out the account with me casting a no vote. The entire amount of money was from popcorn sales. I was concerned because of a potential issue with violating IRS tax policy with regards to non-profit organizations. I also felt cashing out the account was immoral because this money was from popcorn sales. I'm now in the process of writing a policy the committee can vote to adopt so there our hopefully no issues with individual accounts in the future. Any suggestions for wording in a policy would be greatly appreciated.

Is it against BSA policy to cash out an individual scout account so a single scout can attend a summer camp not supported by BSA?
