Recharter/Renewal Process

- This year, the unit recharter and member renewal process is different than in past years. Members are given two options for membership renewal (National and Council fees), to pay individually via my.scouting.org, or to continue to have the unit drive membership renewal.  We will attempt to run both the unit recharter and membership renewal through the unit (unless any of you have already renewed your membership on your own).

2025 Dues are broken down as follows:

YOUTH: $255
$85 National, $80 Council, $85 Unit (Troop 133/1033), $5 PayPal Fee

ADULT: $70
$65 National + $5 PayPal Fee

SCOUT LIFE MAGAZINE: $15 (optional, add note in comments)

Game Nights - Pizza money

- As we are testing how to best run Game Night, the Troop has been supplying Pizza for scouts and friends. To cover the cost of pizza, Mr Kafuman will be collecting cash on game nights. $2-3/person/slice depending upon toppings, etc...  However, if you forget cash, that's ok, we'll still order pizza and scouts can eat.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Fundraiser: Holt House Monthly Deep Clean

- Opportunity for Scout families in the Troops and/or Packs to earn $150 for their scout account by completing a monthly cleaning at the Holt House. All cleaning supplies will be supplied. It typically takes 3 hours for two adults and one youth. Next available slots are for June 2025:
