Equipment
Troop 265
provides all camping equipment (tents, stoves, lanterns, etc.).
Camping equipment is assigned to Patrols and it is up to the patrol
to properly maintain the equipment. If damage occurs to the
equipment from horseplay or misuse it is the patrols responsibility
to replace the equipment.
Scouts are
responsible for their personal camping equipments (sleeping bag,
flashlight, personal hygiene, etc.).

Funding
Each Scout has
a personal Scout account where credits and debits are tracked. Troop
dues are reviewed each year and are debited directly to a Scouts
account. These dues are used to maintain equipment and buy new
equipment. Camping expenses are debited directly to the Scouts
account.
Troop 265
engages in a number of fundraising events, Scout popcorn sales, annual
Christmas gift wrapping to name a few.
