With the new year comes a couple of financial deadlines:
1 National Boy Scout Dues: $60.00 annual dues for Scouts; $30.00 for Adult Leaders- These funds go to meet organizational costs and offset the cost of T- Shirts and local troop expenses.
2 Camp Rainey Mountain Summer: $250.00 June 28-July 4. One of the South's premier summer camps offering the most merit badges of any camp around. Summer camp is fun and adventuresome and helps the Scouts earn many merit badges that assists in their quest for Eagle Rank. Summer camp dues are split into three installments.
Installment 1: $85.00 due February 2
Installment 2: $85.00 due April 6
Installment 3: $80.00 due June 1
Their may be additional fees for certain merit badges such as shot gun or rifle
The sooner you register and pay the more likely the Scout is to receive their first choices in merit badge courses. Some classes fill up early and become unavailable to later registrants.
These can be paid by check made out to Troop 81. Mr and Mrs Yeater are collecting funds. If a scout and his family has financial hardship issues, talk to the scoutmaster Mr Jourdan about assistance available through the scouting program. The cost of Summer camp can be earned by the scout selling Camp Cards that come out in April/May $4 for each $10 savings card sold.
As for this weekend, rather than spend $12-$15 dollars and attend the advanceorama, Troop 81 is having their own Advanceorama with two-three Eagle Merit Badges being taught. Family Life, Personal Management, and Personal Fitness. As the emphasis is on learning, the adults are preparing all the meals.
