Annual Dues
Payment is due to the troop treasurer by the end of September each year.
The actual amount is subject to change at any time, but for the 2008-2009
Scouting year the dues were $225. This amount covers the costs
of a Scout's annual registration with the Boy Scouts of America, a subscription
to Boy's Life, troop dues, patches, Courts of Honor and campouts.
Annual dues do not cover any of the costs of summer camp and high adventure
trips.
Crossover Scout Dues
Webelos usually crossover to Boy Scouts in February. The troop
offers a reduced fee for crossover Scouts. For the 2007-2008 Scouting
year, the crossover Scout dues were $50. This amount is subject
to change in the future.
Note: Please submit a check for the amount due to the troop treasurer,
and make the check payable to "BSA Troop 467."

shirts, patches and meals on the road. The amount provided to
the Scout for ancillary costs is up to the Scout's parents.
Annual dues do not cover any costs associated with summer camp and summer
high adventure activities.
