Section 15. Disciplinary Policy

During all events and activities, the Scouts and Scouters are expected to live up to the rules and guidelines established by the BSA and Troop 774. In the event a Scout or Scouter does not follow these rules and guidelines, or threatens the health and safety of any participants, the leader in charge may take immediate remedial action as deemed appropriate, including, but not limited to, immediate suspension from the remainder of the activity. Depending on the circumstances, the parents/guardians will be required to pick up their Scout immediately. Should such behavior re-occur by the same Scout or Scouter, that individual may be subject to permanent dismissal from the troop as determined by the Troop Committee. A Scout or Scouter who continually disrupts activities or whose actions endanger him or others will be sent home.

Section 16. Fundraisers

The Troop Committee and Council Office must approve all fundraisers prior to the event. Proceeds generated from fundraisers will be split up to 50/50 between those who participated and the Troop general fund. Participant earnings will be deposited to their 'campership' account. When undertaken, all Scouts should participate in fundraisers to support the troop and their individual participation in scouting events and activities. The Troop Committee reserves the right to designate certain fundraisers for the sole purpose of replenishing the Troop's scholarship and/or equipment fund when needed.

Section 17. Individual Campership Accounts

Monies earned through certain opportunities are put into Scouts' individual 'campership' accounts. The Troop Treasurer will track each Scout's account separately. The funds may be used by the Scout to cover the cost of troop activities and annual registration and dues. The treasurer will require a signed note from the Scout's parent/guardian stating the amount of funds needed and for what purpose before the funds may be used.
Monies in an individual's campership account will be transferred to another Boy Scout Troop should the individual Scout transfer his membership.  Monies in an individual's campership account will be transferred to Troop 774's general fund should the individual Scout quit Scouting.

Section 18. Parent/Guardian Participation

Parents/guardians who are active in the troop tend to enhance their son's overall experience in Scouting. All parents/guardians are welcome and encouraged to become an adult member of the Troop Committee by registering with BSA.
Parents/guardians desiring to participate in troop activities are required to attend Youth Protection Training.
