Troop Scout Dues
The Adventure Continues: Troop 4 Monthly DuesWelcome to another month of leadership, service, and adventure with Troop 4! As our Scouts grow within our scout-led program, they take on more responsibility, plan their own expeditions, and work toward the rank of Eagle Scout.These monthly dues are essential to maintaining a high-quality program and consistent troop operations. While national registration fees cover insurance and council costs, these local monthly dues stay 100% within Troop 4 to support our Scouts' growth and keep our non-profit running smoothly month-to-month.What are some of the things monthly dues cover?Advancement & Recognition: All rank patches, merit badges, and the awards earned as Scouts progress.Troop Gear & Maintenance: Ongoing upkeep and replacement of camping equipment, tents, stoves, and our Troop trailer.Monthly Program Supplies: Materials for Scout-led skills instruction, first aid training, and weekly meeting activities.Operating Expenses: The essential behind-the-scenes costs (insurance, website, and administrative fees) that keep our non-profit operating and compliant.Leadership Development: Subsidizing training materials and resources for our youth leaders (SPL, PLs, etc.).A Note on Zeffy (Our Payment Platform):We use Zeffy because it is the only platform that ensures 100% of your payment goes to Troop 4—they don't charge us any credit card or processing fees.Important: At checkout, you will see an optional "contribution" requested by Zeffy to help them keep their platform free for non-profits like ours. This is entirely voluntary. To opt out, simply select "Other" in the dropdown menu and enter $0.Thank you for supporting our Scouts as they lead the way!
