Hardship Policy

It is the expectation of the troop that Scouts participate in the wreath fundraiser and that the Scout commissions, along with parent contributions, will cover all a Scout’s activities in the troop. If a Scout’s family experiences unexpected financial hardship, the family can petition the Troop Committee for assistance. The committee will exercise its discretion in handling matters of financial hardship, and a sub-committee may be created to handle individual cases. When dealing with cases of family hardship, the Committee will follow the guidelines set forth in the Troop 23 Hardship Policy.
