The $25 new scout fee was a terrible idea so it's good they got rid of it. I'm still waiting to see 2024 membership numbers. I am guessing membership numbers were lower so it made more financial sense to get $5 from everyone vs. $25 from fewer than anticipated new members.

Eagle94-A1 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Council service team 15 posted the information on FB. Someone posted on my district's FB page. It is now deleted. I wonder if council told him to take it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
