Fees & Fundraising
The yearly Troop dues are presently $275. This amount covers all registration fees, Boys Life Magazine, campout fees, food for campouts, awards, BSA insurance, recharter fees, rank advancement, and merit badges the scout may earn. This is an annual charge and is due on or before October 1 of each calendar year.
Scouts can earn funds toward Troop dues and summer camps by participating in the annual Troop fundraiser, which is selling Christmas greenery in October and November of each year. The Scout account can be used for any dues, fees, or summer camps associated with scouting. Any monies left in the account after the scout has left the Troop will revert to the Troop general fund.
All fees associated with registered adult leaders, committee members, and assistant scoutmasters will be covered by the Troop. Adult leader fees associated with summer camp attendance will also be covered by the Troop. Registered adult leaders also receive a copy of Scouting, the national BSA adult leader magazine, and Scouter magazine, published by SHAC. All fees associated with training scouts and adults will be covered by the Troop.
For families that may have financial difficulties, there is a scholarship program available to those Scouts in need. The scholarship program will cover yearly dues and summer camp costs.
