In this regard, employees or members of their immediate families should not possess a significant financial interest in, or receive remuneration from, any business that does, or seeks to do business with the council. In addition, employees should not conduct business on behalf of the council with members of their immediate family, or an association which could be construed as significant in terms of potential conflict of interest. Employees or members of their immediate family should not do business with other employees of the council on the basis of their mutual association with the council. Any employee who believes that his or her personal actions or interest, or the actions of others, may violate this policy must discuss the matter with the scout executive or council president.
