Registration
Returning or New Members, please ensure you register for Troop 23 at the following LINK.
Annual Dues
Local dues are flat $50 per family + National dues are $40 per person (national dues have a max of $120 per family).
National dues go to TSG HQ and our Troop keeps local dues to largely cover campout/campground rental, uniform collar pins for ranks, local troop patches, and family picnic meals. Dues are collected by our Troop Treasurer and must be paid by Oct 31st.
Uniforms
TSG Uniforms – All troop cadets and fathers are strongly encouraged to purchase and wear TSG official uniforms this year, both Class A and B. Our cadets are earning their Patrol Badge and our Sr. Cadets are also earning stars for completing achievement courses. Without a uniform, our cadets will not be able to showcase their hard work.
Uniforms can be ordered via the Official Troops of St. George Shop.
Reach out to the Captain or 1st Lieutenant to inquire if there is a group order being planned to save on shipping costs.
