That's exactly why leaders like us have to be resourceful. Scouts is for the kids. Some can't afford it but no kid is at fault for that. Our group has a healthy bank account but we've been established for over twenty years and our leaders are very committed, but not all groups are so fortunate. We've got lots of high risk kids in our area and we try to make it work for them if their parents can just commit to bringing them out. Heck, we'll even pick them up and chaufer them!
