Do You Know?
How much of the annual recharter funds each Scout pays goes to the Capitol Area Council?
None. Many units collect “Unit Dues” as part of the recharter process along with National registration and joining fees, but none of the money collected goes to the Capitol Area Council or North Shore District. So where does CAC get funding for salaries, properties, and activities? Tune in next month for the answer.
Call to Action
