We have been trying to figure out dues and the best way to collect and the amount they need to be. We haven't finalized it quite yet, but we think it would be best to roll the council and national registration fees into the dues so that in September you all aren't hit with another big cost right before summer camp deposits are due.
What we've come up with so far is this, they are not set in stone:
-Registration Fee $99
-Awards $35
-Equipment Fee $20
-Admin Fee $20
-Misc Fee (Class B and Neckerchief etc...) $30
Per Year Cost $204, which breaks down to $17 a month.
Also camping fees are based on each camp out and is only paid by those that attend the camp out, not everyone. From the numbers we've run, $10 a camp out should cover them. We will have a budget and anything not spent will accrue so if we end up over in certain areas we will be able to reduce fees at times.
