Rechartering Time To Continue Scouting Fun in 2019

It is that time of year again.  Time to make the annual payment to remain a chartered member of the Boy Scouts of America.

There have been some changes to the troop rechartering process this year.  As you may have heard, the national fee and insurance costs have increased again this year.  These are fees that the troop collects and then forwards on to the council and national BSA offices.  In addition to those fees, the troop annual fee has been $20 which covers troop equipment purchase and maintenance, awards and badges, and other expenses that the troop may have throughout the year.

This year the troop adult leaders have decided to decrease our portion of the recharter fee to only $15 to help keep scouting affordable for our scouts.  Essentially the “all-in” rechartering fee for 2019 will remain as $60 total (plus a $2.10 paypal fee, if paid online).

Troop 108’s recharter deadline (essentially the deadline for getting all of our scouts signed up to participate in 2019) has been moved to the first day of December rather than the end of December as in year’s past.  Scouts need to make sure that their rechartering fees are paid no later than December 1st, 2018.

The troop will be unable to front the cost of rechartering for scouts who have not paid their rechartering fees in full by the deadline.  Scouts not paid in full will not be rechartered with the troop, but can be added back to the troop’s active roster at a later time once the fees are paid.
