Finance
Troop 25 provides an active boy run program. The expense of providing this program is the responsibility of the parents. In order to supplement expenses, fundraising activities are provided so each boy has an equal opportunity to participate. Full parental participation in fundraising is essential to provide an active program at a reasonable cost to the family.
Occasionally family financial situations are strained, a family may feel they need to deny their son's participation. If you are faced with this situation, contact the Scoutmaster or Troop Committee Chair immediately. In confidence, the troop will work with parents to maximize fundraising opportunities and/or seek available funding sources. An active, advancing Scout should not be denied participation due to a family's financial situation.
