Dues for this year will be $200 for each Scout and $60 for each registered Adult Leader and can be paid by check or through PayPal. The dues cover the following:

1. BSA registration costs, including national membership cost, chartering fees for the unit, council insurance and Scout Life magazine.

2. *NEW* National Capital Area Council participation fee. The Troop is subsidizing some of the added cost using surplus carryover from last year’s budget to spread the full increase for this fee over two years. You can find more information regarding this increase on the NCAC website. https://www.ncacbsa.org/participation-fee/

3. Administrative costs to support our website, Troopmaster subscription and maintenance of PayPal.

4. Programming costs associated with court of honor awards, quartermaster supplies, swim tests, leader training courses, and partial subsidies for Troop activities.

Dues should be paid no later than the October 3rd Troop meeting. We will provide details regarding the dues at the upcoming parent meeting.
