Troop 759

HANDBOOK – SUPPLEMENTAL DOCUMENT No: 2

Troop Procedures

Procedures for the Scout Credit Accounts

1. The Person in charge for each fundraiser should keep accurate accounts of the boys and parents who work and the total hours they worked. These numbers and the net amount earned should be submitted to the Scout Account coordinator after the event is over.

2. 25% of each fundraiser should be designated for the troop. This is for all events (including pizza & popcorn sales, car washes, & 4th of July clean up), but this is subject to budgetary needs (i.e. - needs to be revisited once a budget is developed).

3. After the 25% is taken from the net amount, the remaining money will be divided among the participants and that amount will be recorded in their scout account. Each FAMILY will have a page on the scout account, and the scout dollars can be used as the family sees fit.

4. A scout can use any of his available dollar credits toward any scout event expenses by contacting the coordinator. The coordinator will then subtract the expense amount from his account and give him a credit slip (chit) that can then be turned into the event co-ordinate in lieu of money.

5. If the family leaves the troop, all credit dollars go back into the troop account. This accounting will take place once a year after re-chartering.
