For the individual to receive assistance through Scoutreach there must be an important and urgent need for assistance. We ask that families pay some amount for the registration in which they can afford and then to ask for the difference that is needed to complete the amount needed for registration.
For assistance to be granted the BSA asks that the parent or guardian of the individual needing assistance please give a brief statement (2 to 3 sentences) stating the need for assistance and the reason it is needed. For assistance with this statement please talk with the Scouting Unit Leader for more information.
