Financial Aid Policy
Due to a very generous donation from the grandparents of one of our scouts, the Troop Committee has adopted a policy to provide need-based financial aid to scouts. To make the process easy for applicants as well as the Troop Committee, and to avoid the need to ask intrusive questions about income, qualification will be based on whether a scout receives free or reduced price lunches at school. Annual dues will be waived, and assistance up to 50% of the cost of regular outings may be available. In return, we ask that the scout sell popcorn in the fall, and earn at least $150 in popcorn credit.
The policy is available here: Financial Aid Policy. Questions about financial aid should be directed to committeechair@troop24riverside.com.
