Quarterly Camping & Activity Fees

Troop 222 collects $100 quarterly activity fees prior to the start of the next quarter.  Camping sites have to be booked in advance and often have associated fees.  Other activities also require advanced booking and upfront fees. Fees vary from quarter to quarter and activity to activity.  We help the scouts plan and alternate higher-cost associated activities with alternating quarters so the costs average out over the year. If your scout is unable to attend an event, and you provide enough notice for us to get a refund, we will pass that refund onto you and your scout whenever possible. 

​

Below is a summary of potential items included in quarterly activity fees:

​​

  • State park camp site bookings, other scout camp bookings, group camp site bookings, or cabin booking rentals, park entrance fees for planned hikes, or other similar fees​

  • Troop groceries/meals associated with camping (menus planned by scouts)

  • Klondike annual registration (if funds have pooled over from previous quarter, sled t-shirts are paid for by the troop)

  • Canoe trip (or equipment-needed trip gear): rental mostly absorbed by activity fees, remaining costs require payment from families.

  • Gas for cars transporting scouts, leaders and gear for all trips

​​

Activity fees do not cover MRE or other dehydrated meals when needed for backing trips.  These are personal choices and purchases.

​

Activity fees do not cover the annual council-associated ski trip, or other jamborees.  Summer camps and other high-adventure trips are also not covered by activity fees or annual dues.

​

The Troop Committee Chair and Treasurer are happy to discuss funds allocations and budget sheet if you ever have any questions regarding how funds are allocated and used.

​

You can pay your activity fees via personal check, Venmo or from your Scout Account.

  • If paying by personal check, please make payable to: Scouts BSA Troop 222

  • If paying by Venmo, please search @Troop222NC to find us, please ALWAYS comment your scout's name AND what you are paying for.

  • If paying by Scout Account, please email Christine and Ellen, or notify one of us to pull the funds from your Scout Account.
