Boy Scout Troop 346

Parish of St Michael, Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Troop Finances

Dues

Dues are $30 per year. The annual dues pay for registration fees, Boys Life, awards and decorations. The dues can be taken from a boy's account, if desired. Dues are normally collected each fall and must be paid in full by Dec 31st for a boy to continue with Scouting activities.

Fundraisers

All boys are expected to actively participate in troop fundraisers. We offer fall popcorn sales and spring Scout-O-Rama ticket sales. There may also be other opportunities for the boys to raise funds for the operation of the troop. We expect each boy to do his part in supporting the troop.

Scout Accounts

Each boy has a personal account managed through the Troop Treasurer. This account can be built up from either payments from the parents or from troop fundraisers. One example of fundraisers is the Scouts working at the Crooks Gun Club. The troop takes a percentage and the rest goes in the boy's account to pay for dues, summer camp, food for campouts or other Scout items. If a boy quits, all money in the boy's personal account (except payments made by parents) stays with the troop. If there is a brother in the troop, the total could be transferred to the brother's account. If a boy transfers to another troop, the entire account will be transferred to the new troop once he has registered with that troop. The Scoutmaster of the transferring troop must contact the Scoutmaster or the Committee Chairman to confirm his transfer and request the transfer.
