Policy for Distribution of Money
Generated at Fund Raising Events

The treasurer shall determine the net profit generated by any fund raising event.  The treasurer shall then divide this money into two categories: general troop funds and "shares."  The money designated for general troop funds shall be held in the general treasury account for the troop.  The percentage of the total money so designated shall be determined by the treasurer according to the projected needs of the troop.  The money designated for "shares" will be distributed according to the following rules:

1)  Shares remain “troop funds” held in the troop treasury but they are are allocated to individuals for their use subject to the conditions below.

2)  Shares may be earned by scouts and registered adults.

3)  Shares are earned by working a designated shift at an official troop fund raising event. 

4)  While individuals are welcome to work as many shifts as they please at fund raising events, an individual may earn only one share per fund raising event.

5)  Shares accumulate throughout membership with Troop 1954. 

6)  Shares can be used for Troop 1954 activities, including they payment of annual dues.  Non-troop activities and personal equipment are specifically excluded.

7)  Any Troop 1954 member may allow another Troop 1954 member to use any part of their allocation.

8)  No individual may use their allocation to pay annual dues unless they are deemed “active” by the troop treasurer.   

9)  The treasurer will make a diligent effort to contact inactive members during the recharter period to determine their interest in remaining on the troop roles.  If an inactive member wishes to remain on the roll for any purpose, they must pay annual dues using non-troop funds. 

10) Any member required to pay annual dues using non-troop funds who fails to submit payment will be removed from the troop roll.

11)  Any individual dropped from the troop roll may re-activate their membership by submitting a completed application form and dues payment. 

12)  Upon leaving Troop 1954, funds revert to the general fund of the troop.
