Travel Reimbursement Policy
The Troop Committee has agreed that drivers should be reimbursed for their fuel expenses by the boys attending the event when total round-trip mileage exceeds 130 miles (any trip farther than Tanah Keeta Scout Camp).
Travel reimbursement expenses will be added to campout fees for all scouts attending the event based on total distance, as follows:
- < 130 miles: no reimbursement
- 130-200 miles: $5
- 200-300 miles: $10
- 300-400 miles: $15
- 400-500 miles: $20
The adult leader organizing the event or troop treasurer will reimburse drivers based on number of seats occupied by scouts.
In addition, the driver who pulls the troop trailer will be reimbursed on every trip based on total mileage at a rate of $0.50 per mile.

Reimbursement Procedures: Many times, adult leaders, parents and/or Scouts incur personal expenses directly supporting Troop activities and functions. To be reimbursed, a receipt for the service, supplies, and/or equipment purchase is required. The receipt(s) must be submitted to the Troop Treasurer. The Treasurer will coordinate the Troop Committee Chairman’s review of the expenditure(s) and reimbursement authorization.
