The Troop dues for the new scout year are $30 per scout.  These dues help cover the operating costs of the Troop including awards, supplies, and other expenses in running the Scouting program.  

Please submit your dues on or before Thursday, September 26th.  Payments can be made via Venmo, check, or cash.

Please note: Scouting America (BSA) is starting to collect registration fees for Scouting America membership directly from families - the Troop will no longer be handling these membership fees.

The Troop 437 Committee does not want any Scout or adult to miss out on anything Scouting has to offer due to an inability to pay.  If any fee is a hardship for your family, please reach out to one of the Scoutmasters, Committee Chair, or Troop Treasurer to discuss available options. Any requests will be kept completely confidential.

What is changing:

This year Scouting America (BSA) is changing the way they register and re-register members.  In the past, the Troop has collected membership fees and passed them on to the local council to process the BSA membership renewal.  Starting now, Scouting America will be notifying families directly when membership renewal is due and directly collecting the membership fees.

What you can expect:

A couple of months before your registration expires you will receive e-mails asking you to complete the re-registration process online. Re-registration must be completed before your membership expires so the Troop can continue including you in its activities and process advancement.  If a scout's or adult's registration expires, they will be automatically removed from the Troop roster by Scouting America and we will not have any access to the records until the membership is renewed.

The Boy Scouts of America is changing it's name to Scouting America.  This name change reflects the organization's evolution to support all youth in our community.  For more information see the official announcement and the Aaron on Scouting Blog Post
