While most extracurricular activities are seasonal, Scouting is a year-round program and remains one of the most valuable investments we can make to support youth today so they can become the leaders we will turn to tomorrow. Scouting is a great value!
Our Boy & Girl Troop offers several optional fundraisers throughout the year that can help each Scout earn money towards Scouting costs and activities (ex: May flowers, Fall mums and Winter poinsettias). In addition, the greater St. Louis Area Council is committed to ensuring that all youth can experience the character-building benefits of Scouting regardless of their financial situation. Based on financial needs, registration assistance will be available.
Membership dues are paid to both BSA National and also Troop 456 (see breakdown below).
