Boy Scouts of America Troop 1

Dues: Each scout pays annual dues to the troop. This pays for national registration. If the Scout is a member of the Order of the Arrow, the dues are an additional $6.00.

Uniforms: Scout uniforms should be worn to all Troop meetings and outings. Uniform for meetings is regulation Class A, including a long- or short- sleved Scout shirt, red shoulder loops and appropriate insignia, belt and blue jeans or belt and shorts (Scout buckle, Scout trousers or shorts and socks are optional), Troop 1 neckerchiefs (presented at time of joining -replacements can be purchased from the Troop) with slide. Merit badge sashes are worn on formal occasions such as Courts of Honor, special ceremonies, and boards of review. Uniform for outings: while traveling - Class A; while in camp - Class B (Scout t-shirt). We have a uniform exchange for serviceable, but outgrown uniforms (Class A).

Expenses: In addition to dues and uniforms described, each Scout must have a Scout Handbook (a Scout Field Book is recommended as well), merit badge books as needed and field equipment as needed (sleeping bag, poncho, canteen, flashlight, cumpass, etc.) The Troop maintains the tents that are also used. The Troop has many merit badge books that are available for loan from our library and will accept books that have been bought by the scouts to share with others coming through the program..
