It is the belief of the Dan Beard Council that Scouting programs should be available to all youth.

Thanks to strong community and Scouting family support, some funds for financial assistance are available to assist with fees for council events and member registrations. As funds are limited, financial assistance is based on need. The council cannot cover subscription to Scout Life magazine, and alternatives should be sought before requesting assistance. For assistance with camp fees, individuals should use the separate Campership Application.

Please discuss the use of this form with your Membership Executive before submission. All requests are kept confidential.

Please submit the form with your Youth Application to your district’s Membership Executive and/or the Vice President of Membership.
