The leadership of Troops 7 & 2 and Venturing Crew 2 believe that financial circumstances should never prevent a Scout from participating in our outdoor program. To ensure every young person has access to camp and high-adventure activities, a confidential Campership (Camp Scholarship) Fund is available for all registered Scouts and Venturers who may need financial support.
Each Scout and Adult Leader pays annual dues to support Troop 7's operating costs. To pay your annual Troop 7 membership dues. Make sure you enter your Scout's full name in the "Add a note" field. This allows us to accurately track payments.
Annual Dues for Scout - $300.00 + $9.00 PayPal fee
Annual Dues for Adult Leaders - $150.00 + $5.00 PayPal fee
