Fellow Scouters: I have been informed of a new Council Policy everyone needs to be aware of. As a Non-Profit Organization, the Boy Scouts of America should not be paying Sales Tax, yet we have been doing so in reimbursements to volunteers for years.

Starting September 6, 2018, the Capitol Area Council will no longer reimburse volunteers for Sales Tax on purchases made on behalf of the Council. If you turn in receipts for reimbursements with Sales Taxe on them after September 6, the Sales Tax will be deducted from your reimbursement. 

To avoid paying Sales Tax on a purchase made on behalf of the Capitol Area Council, please download and use this form. The business in question may ask for a Tax ID #. They do not need this as is clearly stated on the attached Comptroller's form. However, rather than argue with them you can give them this number: 74-1143057. 

Give me a call at 512-748-1849 if you have any questions!

Our May Roundtable was completed this week, and for anyone interested, here's the materials and announcements that were presented during the joint opening sessions:

• Announcements Slideshow
• 2018 Popcorn Slideshow and Popcorn Flyer
• Scouts BSA Program Overview of Effects at Unit Level
• Wonders and Worries Brochure

The Boy Scouts of America’s volunteer-led board of directors recently unanimously approved a plan to welcome girls and young women into all Scouting programs.

There will be a General Informational session on this new policy held in Westlake Hills at St. John Neuman Catholic Church on Tuesday April 24th at 7:00 PM. Volunteers from Capitol Area Council will be on hand to answer questions and present what is known about the new Programs so far.

Please share the attached flier with everyone in your units, and your social media networks, so we can get as much coverage as possible to invite interested families!
