    Web Photo Release Form (optional)

    DUES are established by the Troop Committee to cover essential costs of the unit.  A Scout is Thrifty and is encouraged to earn his way through doing chores at home.  If a Scout sees he is earning his way, he learns the value of work and the rewards thereof.  Those with a hardship and cannot afford to pay for any part of Scouting are encouraged to discuss the matter confidentially with any of the Leaders who will find a way to share the Scouting experience for all that agree wish to pursue the Scouting program.  The Scout should only know that he is earning his way like everyone else, doing chores.  A few fundraisers may be scheduled through the year to help pay for equipment and activities.

    PARENTS

    Boy Scouting is about the Boys and for the Boys, learn how you can support our Troop by reviewing each page in our web site and especially Family/Guest and Troop Organization pages.

    Ensuring your son has a uniform, a handbook that you can start out reading together, equipment, and transportation to meetings/activities.  Your next goal is to be sure you are an actively informed parent.

    Citizenship begins at home.  Please do your part in helping your Scout learn how to help your family by doing chores and being rewarded by earning his dues, outings, and summer camp.

    Throughout the year you will attend quarterly Courts of Honor where your son has the opportunity to be recognized in front of his peers and family for his achievements if he works hard.

    If we have not covered it all here, BSA has put together a website to also help with the questions you might have.
