Costs

1-2 night campouts

The Troop will collect a fee from each Scout participating in a campout to defray Scout food expenses. The fee must be paid four weeks prior to the campout for the Scout to be considered registered and eligible to attend. Adults attending the campout will handle the adult food separately.

Hikes

Day hikes do not have a charge. Scouts are expected to bring snacks/lunch on the hikes.

Summer Camp

Summer Camp costs are set by the camp we attend and the Troop has no additional fees for Summer Camp. Some of these costs can be offset by fundraising events (see below).

Troop Dues

Troop dues are set each year and are payable in September.

For Sept 2025-Aug 2026 Troop year:

• Scout dues are $100 per Scout. Dues are prorated throughout the year based on the month joined.
• Webelos II Scouts transferring to the Troop upon receiving Arrow of Light are not subject to the Scout dues.

Fundraising

Troop 188 had several fundraising events per year. Do you have an idea for fundraising? Let our Troop Committee Chair know!
