Have you ever
talked with your troop about budgeting? This task is very important and it
keeps your troop financially stable. Advents and activities could not take
place unless they're correctly budgeted for. Troop budgeting is not just
helpful for money your troop is spending, but money your troop is saving.
Here are the
steps to create a troop budget:
Step 1: Sit
down with your troop and find out what activities you guys want to do this
year. Remember to record these ideas on paper.
Step 2: Sit
down with your leader and get a approximation of how much money your troop has
earned from cookie and candy sales.
Step 3: Sort
your activity list that you created in step one and get rid of anything
financially unrealistic.
Step 4: Break
out a calculator because it's time to budget your troop's other expenses like
food, transportation, and hotels.
Step 5:
Create a spreadsheet of all of the well-planned out activities and give them to
your troop leader to get it approved by the council.
Congratulations
your troop has fully budgeted their activities and savings.
