Recent parent questions and suggestions: Adult leaders get comped for weekend fees Adult leaders
don’t pay annual recharter fees
Easier for cub scouts because there is a lower number of adults and popcorn sales Higher fees might
discourage camping
Individuals with financial need can have individual conversation (1368) available for financial
need

Low operating budget makes it hard to cover adults
Fundraiser – would need a larger one to cover this (car wash, sponsorship, etc)
Troop Committee decided to keep as is for now, meaning adult leaders do pay their weekend fees and
annual recharter.
