“The national council of the boy scouts of america (bsa) provides quality youth programs, including cub scouting, boy scouting, and venturing through 298 local councils in the united states. Towers perrin, a well-known executive compensation consulting firm, was retained by the national council of the bsa to assess the bsa compensation and benefits program for the local council scout executive position (lcse) with the objectives of ensuring the alignment of the program with the market and to support local councils' compliance with the regulations defined in internal revenue code section 4958, which sets guidelines for compensating officials of select tax exempt organizations. The detailed results of the towers perrin analysis were presented to the primarily volunteer compensation & benefits committee of the national council. Those results were then used as the basis for the compensation programs adopted for local council scout executives. The three fires council (tfc) has a volunteer compensation & benefits committee that reviews the compensation and benefits of the local employees noting that the majority of employees are at or below the midpoint of recommended salary ranges and that no employee is above their recommended range. The salary of the lcse is based on the factors established by the national compensation and benefits committee and applied by the local council's compensation & benefits committee with the approval of the tfc executive board.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
