Each year, the Troop Committee offers fund raising opportunities to the PLC, including the annual Boy Scout Popcorn Sale.   All proceeds are deposited into the Troop's general account, belong to the Troop and its Chartering Organization (IRUMC), and are managed by the Troop Committee.  As an incentive to participate in fund raisers and to help boys cover their scouting costs  the Troop Committee earmarks a percentage of each scout's proceeds to his Scout Account.

A registered Scout may request a reimbursement from his Scout Account by providing a receipt for the purchase of materials and participation fees that are directly related to Scouting. He may request that any Troop 299 fee be deducted from his Scout Account by checking the appropriate box on the outing's permission slip. Disbursements cannot exceed the available balance in the boy's Scout Account. 

When a scout turns 18 or leaves troop 299 he may request that his balance be assigned to a younger sibling that is registered in Troop 299. The Scout may apply his available balance to expenses incurred for convening his Eagle Court of Honor even if that event occurs after his 18th birthday. If the Scout transfers to another troop he may request a disbursement of his balance with Troop 299's expressed expectation that the money will be used by the Scout for similar purposes with his new troop.   Otherwise, any remaining balance will be released to the troop's general account.

The Scout can check with the Troop's Treasurer (an adult leader) to obtain his Scout Account balance
