Scout Accounts

Each Scout family has a ‘Scout Account’ into which funds may be deposited and from which costs may be paid or reimbursed for. A single account exists for multiple family members.

The troop uses your Scout Account for:

  • Deposits by parents/guardians
  • Allocate and manage proceeds from Troop-sponsored fundraising activities
  • Pay for Scouting-related costs and fees

Scouts and parents may use the Scout Account for:

  • Program costs (recharter, etc.)
  • Outing costs (monthly outings, summer camp, high adventure, etc.)
  • Scouting costs (uniforms, Eagle Scout Court of Honor costs, etc.)
  • To the extent permitted by BSA, Eagle Scout Service Projects
  • Camping equipment (for Scout use)
  • Other reasonable costs approved by the Troop committee

Funds accumulate directly from deposits or fundraising activities (Martin’s cards, poinsettia sales, etc.)

A Scout who “ages out” and then registers as an adult leader has the option to keep his Scout Account open to pay for future costs of Scouting.
