How should my troop pay for community events?
Why are community dues collected?

Q: How should my troop pay for community events?

A: Each family should pay their troop the appropriate amount due. The troop should then submit one check, payable to JNGS (until new accounts are established under the name GS of Jefferson Township). Under no circumstances should community event money be deposited into the account of the troop organizing the event.

Q: Why are community dues collected?

A: The Girl Scouts of Jefferson Township collects community dues from each registered girl to:

offset our operating expenses (ie: postage, copying, post office box)
purchase community resources (ie: flags, gloves, program level books)
reduce costs for community events
create resources to offer Bronze, Silver and Gold award project grants
purchase commemorative bricks for Gold Award recipients
offer camperships to any registered Girl Scout or Girl Scout leader who may find themselves in financial need (a confidential request should be made to a support team member).

We'd like to hear your suggestions for ways to reduce our operating expenses and needed community resources.
