Troop 639 Policy:Individual Scout Account (ISA):
Use & Responsibility for Payments

Scouts have opportunities throughout the year to earn funds through various efforts. Fundraising projects, such as fertilizer sales, giftwrap sales, wreath sales, and garage sales, provide opportunities to earn credits which can pay for the majority of scouting expenses. Credits will also be accumulated if the troop receives a donation designated for a specific scout. Funds earned are placed in an account for each individual scout. The scout may use his funds

• Monthly camping activities

• High adventure trips

• Scout functions, other than campouts

• Scout related purchases-equipment, gear, etc.
  (or other, if pre-approved by committee)

• Payment of fees for family members participating in a scouting activity

• Summer camp registration and activity fees
  
  Occasionally, the troop has extended credit to scouts, allowing for payments of fees due at a later date.
  For example, scouts have been allowed to charge activity fees while at Tomahawk Summer Camp rather than carry cash with them.
  Also, when the final cost for a high adventure trip is not known, charges have been billed after a trip.
  Once bills have been sent to scouts, it is expected that these will be paid within a reasonable amount of time,
  either by payments of cash or check or through use of their I.S.A. account.
  In the event that a scout has not fulfilled his obligation to make payments due to the troop, within 2 months of being billed or due,
  the troop will withdraw the amount due from the scout's I.S.A account without further notice to the scout.
  If a scout owes the troop funds for more than 2 months after being billed or due, and he does not have credits with which to pay,
  payments must be made prior to participation in any future activities for which there is a fee.
