Are monetary donations to a Boy Scout Troop deductible?

Matt, Thanks for your question. Donations to the national organization, Boy Scouts of America, are deductible. You would have to check at this link http://www.irs.gov/app/pub-78/ to determine if the specific troop is included.

It is possible that the troop is included under the umbrella of the parent organization. Someone at the troop should be able to tell you if it is. Hope this helps.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
