What makes troop 8 special in the scouting program is that if the families and scout work and support our annual Fundraising Dinner and others as required. The unit picks up the total cost of the scouting program for the year. In order not to undermine the importance of this effort by members of the unit, the unit has adopted the following requirements for youth wanting to join the unit after the annual fundraiser and have not worked it.
Registration fees will be $30.00 for the first month he joins. This is used to pay his annual scout fees and unit costs. He will receive a Scout Handbook when his fee is paid. Thereafter there is a monthly fee of $25.00 including the month of April. The monthly fees will be use for his monthly camping and activities cost. This fee is due on the first meeting of each month.
