  • Always retain a copy for your own records in case it is needed later.
  • Please complete the Medical Form electronically (for example, in Adobe Acrobat Reader or Microsoft Edge).  Note that you can save the completed form to make future updates easier. 
  • On Page A, both the Scout and the Parent must sign. 
  • On Page B2, be sure to choose "yes" or "no" for OTC medication, and sign where indicated. 
  • On Page B2, you must enter ALL the vaccination details on the form - you cannot attach additional pages.

Annual Troop Dues and Recharter Process with Scouting America

Posted on Nov 6 2024 - 10:24am
Recharter Fees for 2025
 
There are essentially three different fees that make up the recharter process - Troop dues, which are determined at the Troop level and remain completely with our Troop, Council Fees, which fund both the Central Florida Council (CFC) and the Narcoossee District, and the Scouting America National Fees, which fund the Area, Region, and National Scouting America organizations of which we are a part.
 
For 2025, the fees charged by Scouting America National and CFC have increased by $5 per participant.  The Troop 617 annual dues (applies only to Scouts, not adult leaders) have increased $3 to $55.  Therefore, registered Adult Leaders will pay $105 ($65 to Scouting America  National and $40 to CFC).  Scouts will pay $200 ($85 to Scouting America National, $60 to CFC, and $55 in Troop Dues).  If your Scout wishes to receive Scout Life Magazine, this is an additional $15.
