Scout Life: $15 (optional for scouts) - This fee covers the Scouts BSA's monthly magazine. It’s a great magazine that reinforces Scouting and the good family values that are part of our program. Registration for Scout Life is optional. For more information, visit www.scoutlife.org

These costs can be paid by:

• Cash
• Check (made out to Troop 564 with the Scout’s name written in the memo field)
• Scout Account (see below)

You can also choose to make monthly payments.

SCOUT ACCOUNT

Each Scout has their own "account" with the Troop where their earnings from fundraising are added. This individual balance allows the scout to pay for their outdoor adventures as needed. Parents may also add to their Scout's Account at any time. Please speak to the treasurer for further details.

FUNDRAISING

Troop 564 strives to find innovative and successful fundraising opportunities. Please bring us your ideas!
