2020 Boy Scout dues are Due. The National portion of the dues almost doubled this year. The Committee voted to only raise our dues by $10 to $70 to try to minimize the burden on our Scouting families. The proceeds from the BBQ allows us to subsidize the increase.
Summer Camp this year is $300, up $5 from last year. First $100 payment is due by end of February, second payment by end of March and third payment by end of April.
Thanks for all the adult leaders who attended the Troop 81 Committee meeting at the Schorrs. We think we have one of most exciting and adventurous calenders ever planned. Congratulations to Warren Parsons who was elected committee chairman.
All Scouts interested in a week adventure in the beautiful Florida Keys at the national BSA camp Seabase, talk to Scott Miley, he is gathering information on an adventure in summer 2021.
