Annual Troop Dues - Pay by Nov 21st (Past Due)

Posted on Dec 4 2019 - 4:36pm


We are now collecting Troop dues and the BSA membership fee for the upcoming Scout year.  Total being collected is increased over last year due to the fee increase that BSA just publicized.  For more details on the BSA fee increase, please see: 

https://blog.scoutingmagazine.org/2019/10/23/bsa-membership-fee-to-change-beginning-jan-1-2020

Note that Troop dues have not increased for the coming year.

Troop dues remain at:                 $50
BSA Scout registration is now:   $60 (up from $33)
-----------------------------------------
Total Scout fees due by 11/21: $110

BSA Adult registration is now:   $36 (up from $33) , also due by 11/21

We apologize for the increase, unfortunately, we have no control over the National membership fee set by the BSA.

The Troop 437 Committee does not want any Scout to miss out on anything Scouting has to offer due to an inability to pay.  If any fee is a hardship for your family, please reach out to one of the Scout Masters (Andy McKeen\Cindy McKeen), Committee Chair David Barnard, or Committee Treasurer David Carpenter to discuss available options. Any requests will be kept completely confidential.

 

Please turn in your dues/registration payment by November 21st.

We will need trained belayers for this trip to support our climbers.  Adults and Scouts 15 or older can belay.  to belay you need to be trained at Central Rock Gym or have been trained at another rock climbing event.  If you need training please see the permission slip for details.
