Scouter/Scout Financial Assistance Request
Sam Houston Area Council
Financial assistance is available to assist Scouters or Scouts, registered in Sam Houston Area Council, who would like to participate in the Council’s leadership training courses – Wood Badge or NYLT. Financial assistance is funded by donations collected at the annual Baden-Powell Fellowship Dinner. Since these donations are limited, financial assistance funding is also limited. A 50% (maximum) of the course fee may be awarded per Scouter or Scout and will be credited towards their registration fee.
Financial assistance is awarded based on financial need and requests are kept in strict confidence.
