Though it doesn't appear to be explicitly against the rules, it seems to be the intention of the rules that do exist that communication simply not be possible. I'd maybe ask the lurkers (ahem) if they think the move is legitimate.
My read on it is that it would not be a violation of the letter of the rules, but could arguably be a violation of the spirit. I, personally, don't think it's a big deal. It's a scout. But I've noticed that some people on the board can be a little sensitive about such things. Were I asked in an official setting whether I thought it broke the rules or not, I would definitely say no.
