Dues are collected at the beginning of each school year to cover the costs of
running the program. Dues will cover the Scout’s registration, subscription to
Boy’s Life, meeting expenses, and all associated awards and badges. Dues will not
cover any camping trips or special outings as planned by the Troop. Checks should
be made out to Boy Scout Troop 304. Invoices detailing the current dues amounts
are sent at the beginning of each new year.
Scouts joining the Troop after January 1 will pay half the annual dues. This
includes all Webelos crossing over from the Pack.
See the section in this guide on Finances.
Advancement to Eagle is a big step for any Scout and involves some administrative
matters to notify the Boy Scouts of America about a Scout’s candidacy. All Eagle
Scouts must go through a review and approval process as the awarding of this
prestigious honor is made only to those worthy of the rank.
Troop 304 has a dedicated adult leader who serves as the Eagle Advisor. It is the
responsibility of each Life Scout to contact and coordinate all Eagle advancement
activities with the Eagle Advisor. The Troop must support and recommend each
Scouts candidacy to Eagle and we will only support those Scouts that take the
initiative to work through this process. This guide provides the name and contact
information of the Eagle Advisor.
There is a meeting at the first Court of Honor of the School year for all Life Scouts
and parents. Check the calendar for details and please plan to attend.
This checklist has been compiled for the benefit of Troop 304 Life Scouts and is
meant to serve as a basic outline of the Life-to-Eagle process. There are many
details that are not included in this outline. It is important that Life Scouts work
closely with the Troop Eagle Rank Advisor during this process. Note that, except
for merit badges, no Eagle requirements can be met until you have passed
your Board of Review for the rank of Life.
