What it reported doing in 2010

Scouting Programs: CONTINUING TO PROMOTE AND CELEBRATE THE VALUES OF THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA OVER THE LAST CENTURY (1910-2010). ORGANIZATION WAS STARTED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2004. Our teams of volunteers spent the year by celebrating Scouting's 100th anniversary by thanking our local councils for their professional service to the youth of their communities. Every council was presented with a special, framed Centennial portrait (24" x 36"). This year long, road journey covered 45,000 miles while making over 350 scheduled stops. This was our way of thanking the Scout leaders of yesterday, today and tomorrow as well a promoting the continued success of scouting to our youth. THROUGHOUT 2010 WE CONTINUED EFFORTS TO PROMOTE SCOUTING VIA THE 100 YEAR CELEBRATION BY ATTENDED REGIONAL AND NATIONAL EVENTS THAT WERE HELD. WINDING DOWN OF FUND RAISING EFFORTS FOR GRANTS IN SUPPORT OF SCOUTING TO BE MADE IN 2011

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 95% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
