W-9 request for scout fundraiser

Like many scout troops, our ward's troop does a flag fundraiser every year. This year a local HOA wants our troop to install flags at the neighborhood's entrances but is requesting a W-9 before they will pay the scouts for the service. Can anyone point me to whether a W-9 is appropriate, and if so, where to obtain one?

The W-9 can be found on the irs.gov site. The main piece of information you're going to need is the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). I'm not sure if that would be coming from the church our the scouts.

The question came up previously in this thread:

Unfortunately, there was not any definite resolution. The best recommendation was to contact the Tax Administration Department at CHQ for guidance.

Update: I called CHQ and spoke to a kind sister in the Tax dept. She provided the scenario-specific info that was to be used when populating the W-9. (A blank W-9 form is available at irs.gov)
