Re: Student 'contributions' / fees to attend regionals

What could be implemented is a kind of "personal account" we use it for our boy scout troop, and it works awesome!!

There are many fund raisers throughout the year that the scout has the chance to do or not to do. If the scout opts out of them, they will be charges a fee of like 20 or 30 bucks.

If they decide to take part in the fund raiser, there will be a goal set(same for everyone) like $350 of popcorn. The troop will get 50% of the profit from the first $350 and the scout will get the other 50% to go into his account. But if the scout sells more than $350 they keep 100% of the profit after 350(in their account).

It is great because Then If you want to buy a shirt or go on an outing, you don't have to write out a check every meeting, you just check a box saying"charge my account" It works great!!!

The best part is that if a scout has financial difficulties, they can just do more fund raising, and they are all set for the year!
