The way I understand the rules, if a troop looses it’s chartering organization and dissolves all the assets of the troop go back to the local BSA Council. Many troops have thousands of $$ in cash, along with equipment such as trailers, tents, camping equipment and some own real estate. All of it reverts to the next higher scout organization.

The very reason to close up shop all together and disburse the monies to each troop to be divided among it’s scouts - it was for them to begin with. And then auction off the equipment and donate the funds to the veterans.

That’s easily taken care of: Spend the money, or give it back, and sell off assets. Turn the org to $0 then close shop.

Everything “owned” by the troop belongs to the inventory of the chartering organization. It would be quite easy for a BSA troop to reconfigure itself into a church-oriented youth program.
