Troop 18 Scholarships and Assistance with expenses

A Troop 18 Boy Scout Scholarship and Assistance Endowment has been established for members of BSA Troop 18. It has been gracefully funded by current and past Troop 18 scouts and their families that are interested in paying the benefits of Scouting forward. This endowment is for the purpose of assisting in payments for items and trips specific to Scouting such as uniforms, registration fees, and scouting advancement trips. Troop 18 wants to ensure that cost does not prohibit any boy from benefiting from Scouting.

These funds are need-based and applied on a first come first served basis. Any Scout’s family that needs a scholarship or assistance is encouraged to submit a confidential application. Any information about need will be kept strictly confidential. Scholarships may be partial or full depending on the Troop’s budget and the family’s circumstances. All scholarships or Assistance funds are applied at the discretion of the Committee Chairperson with the approval of the Troop 18 Committee.
