Donations to the Troop 271 Scoutmasters' Scholarship Fund

Some families like to commemorate their boy's time in scouting with a gift to the troop. Donations to the troop's scholarship fund are a great way to thank the troop when a scout ages out or to honor a boy's scouting achievements. To donate, submit your check made payable to Boy Scout Troop #271 to the troop treasurer with "scholarship fund" in the memo area.
