Costs

1-2 night campouts

A flat rate of $20.00 per participant is charged for all Troop 1-2 night campouts. This is used to cover food and other minor expenses for the campout.

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. 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. The dues year runs from January through December.

For the 2023 Troop year:

Scout dues are $275 per Scout. Dues are prorated throughout the year based on the month joined.
There is a one time New Scout Fee of $25.
Webelos II Scouts transferring to the Troop upon receiving Arrow of Light are not subject to the above fees.
Adult registered leaders and committee members are $95 per member. Only registered leaders who are Troop Committee members have a vote in the Troop Committee and, per BSA Requirements, are the only adults permitted on any Scout outing including hikes, campouts, and STEM Nova events.

Fundraising

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