· Checkout some recurring helpful reminders at the bottom of our message: How do I check my scout account balance? How much do I have in my Food Fund for campouts? And more…

For each monthly campout, Troop 374 Scouts plan menus in advance, the troop purchases fresh food before the campout and Scouts make the meals with adult supervision.  Each person attending the campout is charged $10 for food (the cost is determined by the troop committee).

Bill Ryman, an adult with 20 years of BSA experience (since 1999 with Troop 374) maintains the "Food Fund" accounting system that receives deposits from each family, and provides funds for food purchases.

If you are camping and it's going to be cold, these articles are full of great information, especially if all your camping has been in warm weather.
