dennt 10 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Has anyone else seen this new policy and how are you dealing with it ? How are Scouts suppose to earn money for summer camp now ? http://www.scouting.org/filestore/financeimpact/pdf/CFD-Manuals/Product_Sales_Guide.pdf Individual Youth Accounts The use of individual youth accounts to credit amounts from fundraising to an individual toward their expenses is not permitted. The IRS has stated that crediting fundraising amounts constitutes private benefit. However, the unit could use the funds (all or a percentage) raised to reduce or eliminate dues and various registration fees, purchase uniforms and Scouting books, and purchase camping equipment. The unit could also use its funds to provide assistance to individual Scouts in cases of financial hardship. “There may be older official BSA documents that exist on the internet that reference the use of Individual Scout Accounts, this statement supersedes all other references. We are making every effort to replace older documents as they are discovered.†Link to post Share on other sites
