[Bobwhite Blather] Q&A: SSNs, background checks, merit badge counselors

[Bobwhite Blather Scouting Blog]

Bobwhite Blather has posted a new item, 'Q&A: SSNs, background checks, merit
badge counselors'

Time for a few more answers to your questions, this time about Social Security
numbers on adult applications, the criminal background check and how to become a
merit badge counselor.

I don't like giving out my Social Security number. Why is it required on an
adult application?

An adult applicant's Social Security number is required on the adult application
form in order for the National Council to conduct a criminal background check.
This is done on every volunteer who applies for membership in the BSA.
