      What?? You've Got to Be Kidding Me with These Membership Numbers!

      By mrjohns2 · Posted

      When NCAP started, day activity like PWD had to follow NCAP? What year was that? Are you sure? It is only like 5 years or so that camporees and OA weekends had to follow NCAP and brought about the "Short Term Camp Administrator" concept. That was a big shock to people.

      I see now that day camp is at least 2 days now.  when NCAP started, that wasn't the case, and a district single day activity, like PWD, had to follow NCAP.

      Cost of Scouting vs Cost of Sports

      By Eagle94-A1 · Posted

      My old troop had 1 fundraiser a year. Every Scout had a goal to sell x number of plates. Paid for all advancement, weekend campouts (except food, $ varied by patrol) and depending upon the year 50% to 100% of summer camp. Before National skyrocketed the dues, also paid that and Boy's Life. Depending upon where you are at, you can get by cheaply, especially backpacking. One national forest nearby has no fees for backpackers. One state park charges only for parking if you are backpacking. One place we went biking cost us $100 for everyone for the weekend. That was less than $10/person. Key is willingness to explore new places.

      Cost of Scouting vs Cost of Sports

      By swilliams · Posted

      As mentioned, the $250 trip is for three days in Vermont with dogsledding and cross-country skiing or biking.  Snow Base (in Wisconsin?  Minnesota?) charges $289 for their dogsledding trips, so this price isn't outrageous for what it is. How are you doing $25 with no Troop dues? Our Troop dues cover advancement items (merit badges, rank patches, cards, Eagle kits) and camping reservations, along with trailer registration, adult registration, and a bunch of miscellaneous things.  A mid-size cabin in our scout camp will run us about $250 for the weekend, and tenting sites are $100.   Camping fees are just for food.  We don't charge adults to camp, so the $35-$40 from each scout covers both scout and adult food.
