So if zero dollars of registration fees go to the troop, you might ask, how does the troop pay for things such as activities, awards, and patches? We do that through fundraising.
Fundraising
Because we are a scout-led troop, our fundraising activities vary. We have two general approaches to fundraising: scout-specific funds and troop funds.
Scout Specific: Scouts can raise funds for things like summer camp, registration fees, or other scouting needs.
Troop-specific: Scouts raise funds for troop needs, such as awards, patches, troop activities, and troop supplies.
Adult Fees (Yearly) = $60.00
