Title
Fort Knox Scouting Community
Description
The Fort Knox Scouting Community (FKSC) was established in the Spring of 2002 to fill a need here on post which existed in both Scouting organizations. Each of the organizations, although having a higher service echelon, had problems in various areas which were unique to operating on a military post. Scouting units on military installations are NOT supported by the US Army, they are Private Organizations. The FKSC, which consists of leaders from the Fort Knox Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Boy Scouts, and those scout units which are based on post, operates much as a Regimental or Battalion headquarters would.
An organization that consists of other private organizations? Why? The concept is not that abstract actually. Think of it like the U.N.(only more effective) - one organization, consisting of many nations . There are many things that the FKSC can do, or do more easily, because of the combined effort of all the units, and larger skill base, that would be harder for a single unit to do (Future Leaders Day for example). Also, the FKSC was created to:
Making distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code - specifically to units of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America (GSUSA) and the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) which operate on the Military Reservation of Fort Knox.
