Proposal: Raise dues from $60.00 to $80.00

During our two weeks at summer camp Mike approached Committee Chairman, Pat Streffacio, with a proposal to raise the dues from $60.00 to $80.00. His reasons for the increase are twofold:

• Overall increase in prices for goods (Patches, awards, etc.)
• Purchasing new class “B” polo shirts for the Scouts which have already been priced out at $15.00 each
•  Increase in national dues from $15/scout to $24/scout annually. (Mike, this increase happened at least 3 years ago and was the basis on which you raised the dues $20 the first time, I don’t think I was being misleading at all—Dawn)

The reason this proposal is being brought to you now is that the new parent guide is also in development and we would like to have the new cost of dues listed in the new guide, if the committee agrees to vote the increase. The Parent’s Meeting is scheduled for September 25, the first Committee Meeting won’t be scheduled until after that date.

I am requesting an electronic debate and vote on this issue.

The deadline for this debate is by the end of the September 18 meeting (you can also bring it up then). If no one responds to this proposal, it will be assumed there is no debate and the proposal will carry and the dues will be raised from $60.00 to $80.00.

PLEASE remember that if you/your son are not paid 2 weeks out of the trip you will not be able to attend. Also, there will be no refunds going forward. The only exception to this would be to attend a funeral. This applies to everyone. The small group of volunteers that along with the youth make this troop possible, appreciate you understanding why we had to put this into place.
