Scout Account and Campership Policies Released
The Troop 85 Committee has released policies on both Scout Accounts and “Camperships” (sort of like scholarships, but for camping). Please read through these policies carefully. Also, note that we ask you to not use your scout account to pay for patrol food cost for weekend outings. See the policies page for details.
