is it okay

Yeah this one of those beg for forgiveness than ask for permission sort of deals.

 

I heard this happened a few years ago with a wood track. Pack approached, asked District/Council office, and track ended up "for good of all scouts" where it was lost track of for several years and was damaged.

2nd what Tampa said- Council will keep it..."For good of all scouts". Cancelled check is the documentation.

I'm not a tax professional, but I believe this is no longer the case. Donations over a certain amount HAVE to be acknowledged by the recipient with the disclaimer that no goods or services were received, etc. etc.

 

This is a matter for the Chartered Organization, because *they* have to acknowledge the gift and provide their Federal tax ID number, in order for the donor to receive the tax benefit.

 

If you're worried that the money will somehow disappear into a black hole at the CO, work with the donor and spec what you want. Have them order and pay for the track, and have it delivered.
