@T2Eagle Understood. Yes, not knowing what I was doing the first round here, I did put it in as "BSA Troop xx" and not our CO name. I will ask IRS to correct that, but you're right it solved the practical matter.
The larger issue here, .our C.O. is not very engaged on such matters. As I understand our Troop history, a bunch of parents got together to create the "Friends of ..." organization to be the C.O. because the School District at the time dropped being the C.O due to inclusivity disagreements between BSA National policies and school policies. This was over 10 years ago and well
