Startup Dues

You will need to pay dues to get started with Trail Life. There are 2 different types of dues you pay to get started with Troop MI-0711. Both set 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.
