Hardship Policy

It is the expectation of the troop that Scouts participate in our annual 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 with membership fees, summer camp fees, or other amounts. 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.
