Troop 101

Troop 101 has maintained a highly successful Scouting Program since 1975. Scouting families must assume the financial responsibilities for the quality of our program. A budget is established prior to each fiscal year. Each Scouting family is made aware of its role in supporting our troop programs. Our two established fundraisers provide the opportu... nity to support the troop and meet these obligations so as to lessen any major personal financial burden. Any Scout not contributing his appropriate share for the fundraisers is required to make up the differences in a direct cash donation to the troop. This difference is determined each year after the Annual Popcorn Sale and communicated to the Scouting Family. That difference is due by January 1 of the following year. If a Scout has not met his financial obligation, he is placed on an inactive status and runs the risk of not being re-registered on March 1 (the new charter year). A Scout may also be placed on an inactive status if his dues are in arrears in excess of $3.00, or he does not have a signed medical / consent form on file with the troop. Inactive status means no participation in troop activities and no advancement. A grace period for new Scouts joining after March 1 is in affect for the balance of that first fiscal year, but we hope that all Scouts help out with projects, so we can keep our fees as low as possible. All registered Scouts must be in compliance with the troops Financial Policy before they will be allowed to participate in Scout functions or advancement.Read More
