Unincorporated association has problem with real estate title

The problem of an unincorporated association holding title to real estate has shown its ugly head once again in trying to ascertain ownership of a boy scout camp on Nantucket Island in Massachusetts.  A trial court awarded title to the property to the Cape Cod & Islands Council of the Boy Scouts, an incorporated organization, rather than to the Nantucket District Committee, an unincorporated association to which the property was given.  The Appeals Court of Massachusetts has reversed for further proceedings.
