Thomas D. Allen served as the Secretary of the United States Fund for International Scouting (USFIS) within the National Boy Scouts of America Foundation, and as a member of the International Committee and the National Executive Board of the BSA, as well as a member of the World Scout Programme Committee. He was also appointed to the National Committee involved in putting out the 1979 Scout Handbook after the attempt at rebranding scouting in the 1970s, which he described as "a disaster." He served as the Scoutmaster of Troop #10 of the Pathway to Adventure Council in Illinois from October 1953 to the Summer of 1973, and was an Assistant Scoutmaster both before and after.
