I posted elsewhere on this. I'm a little surprised at the lack of clarity in this thread on BSA policy, because it's posted pretty openly on their web site: http://www.scouting.org/filestore/fi..._BSA_Units.pdf If you look at the last page of that, you'll see that individual scout accounts are pretty clearly prohibited. I admit it stinks but it's difficult for me to look my Webelos in the face when reviewing the Citizenship badge and tell them that as law-abiding citizens we all need to follow the law and pay our taxes - and then turn around and skirt IRS regulations. Has this conflict come up with any of you in dealing with your Councils/Districts? Any exceptions?

I know this is an old thread, but I'm poking around to see if anyone knows why so many units are doing this (individual scout accounts) despite the fact it's prohibited by the IRS? http://www.scouting.org/filestore/financeimpact/pdf/Fiscal_Policies_and_Procedures_for_BSA_Units.pdf
