Time Commitment:
The more a scout attends the faster they will advance. However, there are no attendance requirements and scouts are able to balance scouting with their other activities. A scout may attend as many or as few as they are able.
Costs to Scouting:
There are a lot of fundraiser opportunities with the troop and scholarship availability. The goal is that the scout is able to fundraise for all or at least majority of costs.
Registration fees - 2024-2025 registration cost is $105/year. This covers council/national fees and insurance. Adult leaders cost for 2024/2025 is $65/year. To participate in any overnight events all adults must be registered and completed youth protection training. Click Here to Register
