I am an adult leader of a Boy Scout Troop.  I am looking for simple book
keeping software that will do the following:

Subaccounts - I have 40 boys.  Each with their own money they have earned.
All of their money is kept in one bank savings account, a "Scout Account".
I want to be able to track each boys money inside the software, while all
being reconcilable under one bank account number.  This is done separately
in an Excel spreadsheet now.  As they earn money I need to be able to
deposit it into the savings account under their individually
named subaccount.  As the need it, I need to be able to transfer it to
checking to cover the expense of a camp trip, for example.

Job budgeting/Job costing - When we go camping I have a event "job" budget
to follow.  I need to be able to set a budget amount, apply expenses to
that "job", and apply transfers (deposits) from the boys individual
subaccounts to off set the expenses.  Then be able to report if the campout
came in at budget.

Other than that, I just want to be able automatically download statements
from the banks to reconcile the two savings accounts and one checking
account with the bank.  Have I found the perfect software in GnuCash?
