Thank you for visiting our website! This page is specifically to provide information for joining in the spring. For more details about our program (calendar, etc.), please click on the Main Page link at the left.

How much does it cost?

• Troop dues are $60 per calendar year, so this would be pro-rated to $40 if you join in May or $35 if in June.
• The Class A uniform will cost about $75 new and about $30 used. We offer some used shirts. It depends on what we are able to find. We are always looking for deals on eBay, etc.
• The weeklong summer camp, which includes meals and lodging, is about $300.
• The weeklong backpacking trip will cost about $100.

How much parent participation is needed?

• All parents are not only welcome, but encouraged, to attend all Troop events.
• Each family is able to contribute in different ways. The success of the Program is directly proportional to the parent participation, but that doesn't mean your son cannot join if you are not a registered leader.
• Some parents like camping and backpacking and attend such outdoor events. Most parents "councel" merit badges, which means teaching a skill or subject to small groups of boys. Other parents do administrative things like reviewing advancement and helping guide meeting breakouts.
• If your enroll your son in the Program and are unfamiliar with it, the best approach is to sit in on and observe all goings-on for about two months and then pick what you like best.
