Recharter Time Again – Now Earlier Than In Year’s Past

There have been some changes to the troop rechartering process this year.  As you may have heard, the national fee has increased from $24 to $33 annually and the council fee for insurance has been bumped up to $7 annually.  These are fees that the troop collects and then forwards on to the council and national BSA offices.  In addition to those fees, the troop annual fee is $20 which covers troop equipment purchases and maintenance, awards and badges, and other expenses that the troop may have throughout the year.

Essentially the “all-in” rechartering fee for 2018 is $60 total.

Troop 108’s recharter deadline (essentially the deadline for getting all of our scouts signed up to participate in 2018) has been moved to the end of November rather than the end of December in year’s past.  Scouts need to make sure that their rechartering fees are paid no later than the November 27th, 2018 scout meeting.

The troop will be unable to front the cost of rechartering for scouts who have not paid their rechartering fees in full by the deadline.  Scouts not paid in full will not be rechartered with the troop, but can be added back to the troop’s active roster at a later time once the fees are paid.

You may use the button below to recharter your scout for next year or you can bring payment to a troop meeting (cash or credit card only please).  If you opt to pay using the button below, note that the fee charged by Paypal has been added to the $60 fee such that the total is $62.10.
