[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 511115, member: 3493"] Although it turned out well for difficult child, maybe next time you could approach his scout leaders about your situation. I have been in scouting almost 15 years and most troops have scholarship funds to help pay dues, camp fees and other costs for boys whose families can't afford it. Our rule is full scholarship when the family gets free lunch at school and half where they have reduced lunch. We use this qualifier because it is fair. However, sometimes a family has a financial issue (lost job, extended illness) and a one time grant can be given. Only the parents on the committee know who is on scholarship and we are not allowed to discuss it with anyone else. I apologize if you have already been down this route. [/QUOTE]
