No, 501 (C) (3) corporations cannot make profit type money. They are supposed to be able to make enough revenue to achieve their non profit corporation objectives, usually educational in nature. And also make enough money to break even, pay their employees and thats about it. Anything more and a non profit is crossing the line.

As far as the BSA being my "beloved" I am no more in the BSA anymore other than in some alumni organizations. And I dont particularly care for the BSA anymore because they caved to the queers in the last two years. First deciding to admit gay boys and lately, deciding to let queer adults be Scoutmasters. I dont agree with that. So BSA is hardly "my beloved."

And the BSA does not attempt to make profits like the CMP does.

Your beloved BSA wouldn't sell popcorn for $28/bag if they weren't trying to turn a profit.
