Camping and Special Events: $20–$100+ occasionally. In general, most events with an extra fee will be in the neighborhood of $20. Overnight camps could be more expensive and are a passthrough of the actual cost. For Pack camping, we have the cost of the reservation for the camp plus the food budget, and we cook all meals as a pack to make it easy. Your family must provide your camping equipment (tent, sleeping bags, chairs, etc.). Special events include Scout Night at the Rodeo, RoughRiders Baseball, Cowboys Games, etc., day camps, summer camps, and District Cuboree Days. These are primarily optional fun events.
Basically for a bottom line amount of about $300 a year, $25 a month, you are getting a quality program that will stick with your child for a lifetime!
FINANCIAL HARDSHIP?? If you need financial assistance, please let us know so we can work out a payment arrangement or apply for a scholarship from our BSA District Council.
*All fees are non-refundable.
