Financial Assistance

The McCandless Scouting Foundation is committed to promoting youth development in Scouting.  Individual Scouts registered with Troops 329 and 9329 are eligible to apply for assistance when financial circumstances would otherwise limit or prevent participation in Scouting activities.  The Foundation privides assistance based on a non-discriminatory, needs-based assistance policy.  The application process is confidential.

Scope of Assistance

• Registration or participation fees

• Camping or activity fees

• Uniforms, equipment or required supplies

• Transportation or program-related expenses

Assistance is  intended to remove financial barriers to participation and is not intended to replace ordinary family responsibility where adequate resources are reasonably available.

Application

To apply for assistance, a parent, guardian, sponsor or scoutmaster may apply on a Scout's behalf.  A sponsor is a separate individual aware of the Scout's financial need.  The application process is confidential but requires the permission of a parent or guardian if the application is completed by a sponsor or scoutmaster.
