swilliams Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) Slightly less than the rumored $70-100, but that’s a significant jump. Ouch. That’s an increase of about $2,000 for our troop, assuming council dues stay the same. Meanwhile, our fundraising numbers are down for the fourth straight year.

ParkMan Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I do see they've made it a little easier on families by keeping the adult fees essentially the same. It's small consolation, but it's something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jameson76 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Roughly another $1,700 for our unit.

prof Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 When I went to the OPs link, I noticed that it said "comments are turned off." I wonder how much blow back the councils are getting. I also wonder if the fees would have been higher had it not been for the vocal response to the original announcement about a fee increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand We actually haven't been notified yet (surprise surprise). Circle Ten Council in Dallas leaked it. I imagine some of their volunteers work at National and got this information early.

Expand I think it was posted as a courtesy from the Council early in the morning so people would have an idea of what is going on. There is already a new thread on the Council page discussing the increases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without any increase our cost would have been $50 per scout, $33 to National, and $17 to Council. This will put our per scout cost at $77. With a little belt tightening I think both of my units will be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't you have thrown those interns into the volcano ahead of time, thus warding off the increase???😋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
