We’re holding our annual Fall Family Camp Out, right here in Montvale this year. We’ll be doing tent camping on the grounds were the swim club used to be next to the Community Center and Huff Park on Memorial Dr.
This year, our local council has made changes to it’s fee structure. In the past, the local council, did not charge any fees, instead it relied upon popcorn and friends of scouting fundraising efforts. The fee for first time registration also increased, that is why they are more. You can read the announcement from NNJ Council here.
Below is how the fees paid by the pack to council break down. You can see that the pack only keeps $24 out of the dues we collect to pay for things like patches, belt loops, supplies and event registrations.
