It's Time to Pay Your Troop Dues

It is that time of year again… membership dues for the troop are due. Every calendar year, we have to renew our troop’s membership in the BSA and pay annual dues for all our registered scouts and scouters. Since the BSA raised their fees last year, we were forced to raise our dues to cover the increase:

• Troop dues are $140 for a Scout and $33 for an adult.
• Please note: to remain registered as an adult, you also need to complete the new Youth Protection Training (YPT). 

We have the following payment options:

• Give Jennifer or Mello Elout a check at one of our troop meetings (check made out to Troop 444). Please write on the check who the dues are for.
• Mail a check (made out to Troop 444) to the Elouts. Please write on the check who the dues are for.
• Pay by Paypal (follow the guideline below). Please add in the note field who the dues are for.
• Credit card, come see Jennifer or me at a meeting. Note, there is a 2.8% fee for this that will be included

 
Troop Paypal guidelines:

• Log in to your paypal account on a PC
• Do: Money -> Send or Request Money -> Send to friends or family -> enter the email address: payment@t444.org and follow through from there.
• To our knowledge, you will not be a charged a fee if you have money available in your PayPal account or your PayPal account is linked to your bank account (not your debit card.)
• To our knowledge, Paypal *will* charge a fee if:
  • Your paypal account is funded through a credit card to make this payment
  • Your paypal account is funded through a debit card to make this payment
  • You choose 'Pay for goods or services' instead of 'Send to friends and family
  • There may be other cases where they charge a fee. You will be responsible to the Troop for any charges incurred.

Let me know if you have any questions!
 
Thanks,
Mello Elout
