Monthly Dues: “A Scout is Thrifty…”
Please keep up to date on your monthly dues. We collect $10.00 each month for troop
operation. This can be paid or taken
from your son’s Scout Account. Scout
Accounts are funded by participation in fundraising activities, and also by Kroger
Plus purchases. Use Kroger Plus Card for your family
food purchases. A percent of your spending at Kroger on the Kroger Plus card
will go into the Boy’s Scout Account. The Scout Account can be used to pay for Summer Camp
fees, Monthly camp-out fees, Troop Dues, and Troop related expenses that are
approved by the Scoutmaster. Please note that the purchase of Personal Gear
is not an approved expense that your scout account will cover.
Please check with
Jim Baughman on status of your son's Scout Account.
