Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate per-scout food costs?
Determine the total cost of groceries for the trip and divide it by the number of attendees, plus a 10% buffer for extra snacks or spoilage.
Should adult leaders pay the same fee as scouts?
This is a troop policy decision. Some troops subsidize adult leader costs to encourage volunteering, while others split costs evenly.
