It Takes Money to Have Fun!

We try to keep annual dues to a minimum. Dues are $40. This goes toward: Registration and insurance, Boy's Life, awards, and replacement of Troop equipment. For Scouts joining the Troop part way through the year, dues are prorated.

If you have  questions about finances, please contact the Treasurer, Andrea Haley. We supplement what we need to run the Troop with a few major fund raisers. Some fund raisers are "required" of the scouts and the money earned goes to the Troop. Other fund raisers are optional and the money earned goes into the scout's camping account. Money in a Scout's account can be used for any Scout related activity or purchase, including uniforms. Money in personal accounts stays with the troop if you graduate or leave scouting. In some cases, we receive donations or grants.

An estimated budget for the 2009/2010 Scouting year is provided with the schedule on the "links" page.

Fund raisers planned for this year include:

Popcorn Sales (October-November)

Wreath Sales (November)

Pancake Breakfast (our biggest Troop fundraiser) (February on Scout Sunday)

Butter Braid Sales (April)

Our biggest fund raiser is the Pancake Breakfast on Scout Sunday at the Elkton United Methodist Church. Parents contact local businesses and request donations of flatware, pancake mix, drinks, sausages, etc. All proceeds from this breakfast go to the Troop.
