Nearly one-third of the budget supports advancement, badges, and crossover recognition.

Over half of the budget supports experiences like pack events and camping.

Den activities fund hands-on program delivery throughout the year.

Our goal is to provide a high-quality, fun, and well-organized Scouting experience while keeping costs reasonable for families.
