There is also a good reason not to pay for it all, and Steel referred to it. Church programs should be run uniformly and all should be able top arpticiapte or accept callings. Allowing or requiring (depneding on perspective) leaders to absorb costs leads to dispairites in treatment within stakes and wards and is very much counter to any effort to unify the youth and the wards, IMO. Use the budget and lkittle else.

I agree with what has been said about not paying out of pocket. 1-2 weeks of lost/vacation wages to go to scout camp is more than enough sacrifice for any leader. Throw in all the other stuff that is not reimbursed, such as gas and mileage and it could become very pricey. imo, if someone doesn't get reimbursed, they are also doing a disservice to future leaders, as the ward won't have an accurate picture of how much is actually required to run the program, possibly underbudgeting in the following year.
Does serving as a scout leader make you exempt from contributing to Friends of Scouting? |

I wonder if I've never been considered for scouting cuz I never donated to Friends of Scouting.
Hmm. Two weeks of hell at my expense? No thanks.

We had a court of honor last week for one of our older boys who recently returned from AF basic training. He said that the highlight of his entire scouting career was without question Philmont. |

I did Philmont when I was 14. It was great.
I'm just not sure I want to fork over the time. |
