[Philmont]: Gear ownership, was Leadership approval question

"You are absolutely correct. The Scout Troop does not exist as a legal
entity and can not hold property. The chartering organization is the legal
entity and holds title on ALL troop gear. This was quite an eye openner to
our chartering organization of 65 years."

My error in semantics, sorry. When I mentioned the Am Vets were helping us
buy a new trailer, I know it is meant to be a trailer for the Scout's use.
I realize 'our' trailer legally and technically belongs to our charter
organization. However in common language, we refer to it as the 'troop'
trailer, just as we have 'troop' tents, cooking gear etc.

I also apologize for the cross post - several of you pointed out that this
topic was for Scouts-L. That is where it was originally intended to be --
again, my error, and thanks to those of you who replied anyway. This is a
win-win situation for all involved.
