III. Equipment Needs A.
In order to fully outfit the number of boys currently in troop, needs are: 1.
5 additional tents 2.
2 coolers 3.
Dutch ovens and stoves 4.
Town of Breckenridge will allegedly give troop $2000
contingent upon matching funds. We are still awaiting letter confirming this. IV. Troop Finances A. Current status 1.
$9873.09 in savings account 2.
$2315.75 in checking account 3.
$4721.00 in profit from Christmas trees sales (included in
savings figure) B.
Discussion surrounding reserve figures, dues vs. one-time registration fees,
fund-raising, accounting of fundraising hours, and upcoming re-charter ensued 1.
In 1998, troop held $1500.00 operating funds in reserve 2.
In 1999, $2000.00 was held in reserve 3.
Boys are paying $2.00 in dues weekly (supposedly to cover registration,
insurance, Boys’ Life, and contribute to operating fund) 4.
If dues will not cover operating costs, must come up with fund-raisers or
find alternative way of funding operating budget (each boy costs approximately $100.00) 5.
Re-charter will cost $541.00 6.
Concerns were voiced about fundraising hours and reimbursement to scouts-
equitable or not? 7.
Discussion was then tabled until solid, accurate figures were available and a
thorough inventory of equipment and merit badge books could be completed 8.
It was felt that boys could have an accurate accounting of the amount of
money in their “accounts” by January 24th, the Court of Honor A.
