Troop 141 is an active Unit!
We participate in a variety of activities such as:
- Monthly weekend outings - such as camping, hiking, aquatic, or biking
- Summer Camp - week long camp, generally late July or August
- Service Projects - several events per year benefiting our community
(including Eagle Scout projects)
- Junior Leadership Training - Life and Star Scouts
- Flag Ceremonies - requests from local organizations and Scout events
- San Gabriel Valley District - Camporee and Scout Expo
Family Involvement:
Troop 141 runs an open program where parents and families are welcome to attend all meetings and outings. Parents are strongly encouraged to participate in the Troop committee, which oversees the program, manages finances and provides logistical support.
Charter:
Troop 141 is chartered by the Parents of Troop 141, a registered non-profit organization. As of 2022, the annual cost for a scout is $147.00 ($172.00 for new scout) and an adult leader is $77.00. These costs are paid to the National office and our local Council at the end of the year (a process called rechartering).
Financial Commitment:
Covers campground fees and Troop equipment (tents, stoves, etc.)
Approximate cost for food each outing.
$172 = $25 to join, $75 to National, and $72 to Council
Scouts are also required to purchase their own personal camping equipment (backpack, sleeping bag, boots, etc.), a Class A scout uniform, a Class B t-shirt, and a Boy Scout Handbook.
To offset expenses throughout the year, we ask that all families participate in official Council Fundraisers (Popcorn and Scout Expo) as well as Troop 141 fundraising activities (candy sales, mistletoe, restaurant promos, etc...)
