well i know for a fact that the $150 registration fee does not include any activities/equipment for the year. we pay separate dues for every campout/activity we do, such as fishing or shotgun shooting, etc. and those cost 50-200 each depending on the activity. If we were not charged separately for individual activities, then i would understand how $150 for registration would be reasonable. But asking for $150 for registration, and another $100 per "extended/out of the ordinary campout" seems a bit much. Our troop only has about 14 boys altogether, so we're relatively small

so as ive understood so far, the cost without supplemental insurance shouldn't be much more than $27 a year. I understand some extra fees for patches, etc but that altogether shouldnt exceed about 15-20 dollars, resulting in an annual fee somewhere in the $40s-50.

Hey everyone, im new to this forum, and I'm the senior patrol leader for my troop. I come here with an issue that i don't exactly know how to go about solving. Some of the adult leaders in the troop seem to be pulling random numbers out of nowhere for payment for annual registration. It even seems as if "annual registration time" comes twice a year for us, and they ask us to pay $150 per scout and $100 per adult volunteer. However, I do not see any evidence/reciept system as to where this number comes from. Same goes for when we go on camping trips. For example, we're planning a camping trip to catalina island off the coast of california. at first we were going to go to cherry valley, and we were told it would cost $150 for the whole weekend with riflery, archery, meals for the weekend, etc included. However, the plans were changed and we're going to be staying at a normal "public" campsite near avalon which only costs $12 a night per person. Yet the $150 fee for the camp has not changed, even though our activities are limited compared to what they would have been at cherry valley. How would I approach this issue with one of the adult leaders? I don't want to ask them directly because I do not want to make it seem like i'm quesitoning their authority, but I would just like to see some numbers/proof as to how these $150 fees are being calculated. Thanks in advance for any advice
