Troop Dues are
Due
We're collecting scout dues for 2018-19 year, and updating family
information/medical consent. Dues and completed forms are due
by October 9th.
1.
Dues for this year are the same as last; $200/first scout,
$150/second scout and $100/third scout. These dues subsidize
scout campouts and activities throughout the year. In
addition, the dues help cover the cost of badges and awards for our
Court of Honor.
2. We'll be compiling a scout family directory this year to help
parents arrange car pools and such. If you don't want your
information included in the directory, there is an opt-out box on
the family information form. This directory will only be
shared with families in our troop and not to be shared outside of
our troop.
3. Parents are all expected to volunteer to help plan at least one
scout trip (this is to assist the ASM in charge of the trip) and
volunteer to help at at least one scout meeting throughout the year.
To complete the Family Information Form, please
click here for our Google Form. All dues checks should be mailed
(217 West Lane) or given to our Troop Treasurer Tiffany Carlson.
Please make out checks to "Troop 76" and please write "dues" in the
memo line. If you have any questions completing the form,
please contact
Jana Hogan
for assistance.
We never want any of our scouts to miss out on a program due to
financial constraints. If you are in need of financial assistance
please contact our
Troop
Committee Chair Jodie Francis for help. All requests for
assistance are kept strictly confidential.
Thank you all for your help throughout the year. We
could not run such an amazing program without support from our scout
parents.
Service Projects
Scouts are required to volunteer 12 hours of
community service each scouting year. You're encouraged to earn
more. For the comprehensive list of opportunities, click on
the "activities" link above.
Fundraising Requirements:
Troop 76 has one fundraiser, the Holiday Wreath Sale in the late
Fall. Every scouting family is required to participate.
Wreath Sales Requirements: Every Scout is asked to sell a set dollar
amount (to be determioned) of wreaths, and fill a working shift with
a parent either at Jesse Lee on the day of wreath delivery or to
sell wreaths at the Church Sales (Jesse Lee or St. Mary's).
Please contact Jodie Francis at troop76committee@gmail.com if you
have any questions.
