It is important that no Scout ever be denied participation in the Scouting program due to their family’s financial situation.

The Troop 247 Adult Committee voted unanimously to establish a Troop Scholarship Fund to provide financial assistance for Troop Dues to Scouts in need. A generous anonymous donation was provided to start the scholarship fund.
The Simon Kenton Council has an established scholarship fund to provide financial assistance for registration fees and uniforms to Scouts in need. This fund is supported through generous donations to the Friends of Scouting fundraising campaign.

Please reach out to Curtis Smith (scoutmaster@troop247.us) or Sam Austrino (committeechair@troop247.us) to discuss privately any financial hardships that may prevent you from Scouting.
