Scout Membership Registration Assistance

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.

Camperships (Summer Camp Financial Assistance)

A Scout is Thrifty.” Scouting America and the Dan Beard Council encourage all Scouts to pay their own way to Scouting activities, as this philosophy supports the basic aims of Scouting. However, we realize that some Scouts need a little extra help at times in order to participate.

The Campership program is designed to aid Scouting families in these circumstances and is funded by donors. These funds are specifically designated by our donors for use in assisting youth to attend Dan Beard Council summer camp and NYLT programs.
