What are the funding sources for campouts and other activities?
Generally, the Scout is responsible for the costs associated with any Troop activity. Troop dues do not pay for these activities, but instead are used to maintain Troop equipment (stoves, lanterns, climbing gear, etc.). The Troop does offer various fundraisers for Scouts that can accumulate funds to be used for Troop activities, personal equipment and even Summer Camp. Each Scout has an individual Scout Account established by the Troop Treasurer where funds may be credited and deducted. The Troop’s main fundraisers are our fall firewood sale and yearly Flags Across America program. We also participate in the Scout Popcorn program.
