Financial Assistance
A family's financial circumstances should not be a barrier to Scouting. Pacific Skyline Council encourages all units to help offset fees through fundraisers and unit-level assistance. Talk with your Unit Commissioner or District Executive about how to include fundraising and financial assistance in your unit's program and budget.
Pacific Skyline Council also offers registration assistance to help families with youth membership fees. In addition, select programs have Camperships available for youth participants.
Registration Assistance
A Scouting America Registration Assistance fund has been established for Pacific Skyline Council youth who, due to their individual circumstances, may need financial assistance to register with Scouting America. Registration assistance requests are accepted year-round. Submit completed forms to your District Executive.
The amount of assistance granted is based on financial need. Assistance may be granted up to 100% of the current Scouting America annual membership fee. Any council fees, such as the Council Program Fee, are expected to be covered by the unit, the applicant’s family, and/or fundraising. The council offers and expects Scouts to take advantage of fundraising opportunities, such as the annual Popcorn Sale, to help pay for Scouting-related fees.
​
A new Registration Assistance Form must be submitted for new memberships and annually for membership renewals.
Camperships
Pacific Skyline Council has created a campership fund for youth to attend specific council events throughout the year. To apply for a campership, submit the form below. For general information on Pacific Skyline Camperships, contact the Director of Council Program.
