Troop & Crew 777 Re-Charter for 2020

Posted on Dec 9 2019 - 3:59pm
Dear Troop and Crew 777 Families, 
 
It is time to re-charter our Troop and Crew with the Boys Scouts of America (BSA) for the year 2020.  This means each scout, leader, and adult must register for the upcoming year. Please see the attached chart for the annual payment to Troop/Crew 777.  The fee is compromised of 3 parts: 
  • National/BSA fees: We collect this fee and pay this to BSA which registers our Troop for the year 2020.
  • Michigan Crossroads Council (MCC) Insurance: This is to protect our scouts, leaders, and chartered organizations that support the scouting program.
  • Unit fee: Supports the scouts of Troop/Crew 777 and their activities, advancements, and running the program. 
  • Optional Scouting Magazine: $12.00 per scout for the entire year ($1.00/per monthly issue).  It's a great magazine that offers our youth with fun reading and reinforces Scouting.
