There are 2 different sets of dues you pay to get started with Troop MI-0711. Both sets of dues must be paid for your Trailman son to be registered with the Home Office (national organization) and Troop 711.
If you are in need of financial assistance to pay the starting dues, please reach out to our Onboarding Chair that you met with to let them know of your need.
Trail Life Home Office startup dues
These dues pay to keep the Home Office staff and our national insurance policy.
You will receive an email from Trail Life Connect with a link to sign up to get started. The Home Office dues are ~$43 and must be paid for your son to continue with the troop beyond his time of visitation. If you did not receive the email to sign up, please let us know.
Troop MI-0711 startup dues
These dues pay for your Trailman's Trail Shirt (T-shirt), lanyard, program materials and awards he earns during your Trailman's complete 1st year.
The dues for a boy who is going to be 5 to 10 years old by the end of October are ~$100 and can be paid at this link.
The dues for a boy who is going to be 11 to 17 years old by the end of October are ~$140 and can be paid at this link.
When you click on the link to make your payment you have extra options that you can choose from:
A parent guide is available that will help you best understand how to support your Trailman son in his development.
A Troop shirt (the official button down Trail Life uniform) and other optional apparel that goes with the troop uniform. You will notice that most of our Trailmen wear a Troop shirt.
Once we receive your payment, we should be able to give your Trailman his materials at the next meeting (except possibly for a Troop shirt if you ordered one and we don't have the size on hand).
