Page, SE Gulf Coast, #773 9440 University Parkway Pensacola, FL 32514-5434 Re: Requests for information regarding your council’s federal tax-exempt status Dear Spencer: This letter clarifies the tax-exempt status of your council. The Boy Scouts of America, National Council, is recognized as a public charity and tax exempt under IRC Section 501(c)(3), as well as IRC Section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi). We are not a private foundation as described in IRC Section 509(a). A copy of our current tax-exempt determination letter is attached. For tax purposes, your council is a hona fide subordinate organization of the Boy Scouts of America, in goad standing, and covered under the Boy Scouts of America’s group exemption ruling, IRS Ruling No. 1761. Though the council is a separate entity and responsible for its own, independent audit, our exemption ruling extends the same recognition of tax-exempt status to this council as to the Boy Scouts of America National Gouncil. Each year, the Bay Scouts of America National Office submits to the IRS in electronic format a list of approved subordinate organizations which includes all local councils and their endowment trusts. Your council’s information is on the attached list of subordinates. On behalf of the many young men and women you serve in your council area, thank you again for all you do for Scouting. Questions, if any, can be directed
