Fundraising

Fundraising plays a crucial role for the operations of Troop 360. Our various fundraisers raise funds to directly support troop functions such as troop meetings, campouts, eagle projects, and High Adventure treks. Every fundraiser supports individual scouts, Troop 360 as a whole, and the Alamo Area Council. Financial support from fundraisers could enable a scout to attend summer camp, such as Camp Wehinahpay in Sacramento, NM. Financial support from fundraisers could also allow a scout to go on a life-changing High Adventure trek somewhere such as the Florida National High Adventure Sea Base.

Below is information regarding our different fundraisers and our troop ISA (Individual Scout Account) policy.

An account balance report, which summarizes the current balance in each Individual Scout Account, is maintained and presented at each Troop Committee meeting by the Troop Treasurer. (A Scout can request their balance by emailing the Treasurer).

Individual Scout Accounts (ISA) give Scouts a sense of accomplishment, build a strong work ethic and provide a way for Scouts and their families to help themselves pay their own way to Scouting activities.
