Forbidding non-popcorn fundraising????

Yes, the CO can give the unit anything they want.  They just can't raise funds in the name of Scouting or the BSA.  Scouts can participate in the CO's fundraiser, but not in uniform.

In this case, the CO is a group that is dying out, has lost their meeting space due to it being uninhabitable by humans, which has resulted in our troop losing OUR meeting space. It's a whole other problem for me to tackle (along with rebuilding the patrol method, transitioning to a scout led program, and figuring out how to handle an integrated boy and girl troop. Add it to the list  Good thing I like a challenge!

Contact your District Executive and District Commissioner.  One of the responsibilities in the CO Charter agreement is to facilitate a safe and appropriate meeting facility.  If they are not fulfilling the contract, the DE needs to help you find a new CO.  Annual-Charter-Agreement-Charter-Orgs_2023-2024-Year.pdf (scouting.org)

I'd wager if your COR walks into the Council office with that fundraising application it will get signed. Especially if, given any hassle, they ask if they should bother coming back with a charter.
