Organization: Pinellas Area Council of Boy Scouts of America, Inc. d/b/a West Central Florida Council, BSA
From: John E. Aide, President
Date: July 21, 1994
To: <<REDACTED>>

Dear Mr. <<REDACTED>>:

After careful review, we have decided that your registration with the Boy Scouts of America should be rescinded. We are, therefore, compelled to request that you sever any relations that you may have with the Boy Scouts of America. A refund of your registration fee will be sent under separate cover.

You should understand that BSA membership registration is a privilege and is not automatically granted to everyone who applies. We reserve the right to refuse registration whenever there is a concern that an individual may not meet the high standards of membership which the BSA seeks to provide for American youth.

If you wish to have this decision reviewed by a BSA regional review committee, please write to the regional director within 60 days of the date of this letter, explaining your version of the facts supporting your claim that your registration as a BSA member should be reinstated. The procedure for a review of this decision is attached.

Sincerely yours,

John E. Aide
President
West Central Florida Council
Boy Scouts of America
