[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thank you for all the replies! Very helpful. I had no idea other troops were so transparent with their financial info. I don’t believe we have a treasurer, just a leader who does it all. No info provided about cookie profits but I do know we had several girls who sold 200+ boxes and we did several booths, so like I said, I’m curious where the $ goes if we’re covering activity costs individually. I’d be more than happy to give up cookie sales, lol.

I will report back after discussing with the troop leader![/quote

Your troop should have a designated Troop Money Manager. It's actually a rule that every troop needs a separate Money Manager who is not related to either of the Troop Leaders.

I'm a TMM and I have to submit bank statements and receipts to our Service Unit monthly. I have not given details to parents beyond a general "We have X amount in the account" kind of updates but I certainly could for anyone who asked for it. They should have all that info.

Some things we use cookie money/dues for:

Camping (this is actually pretty cheap because we camp at the Council camps)
End of year activity (like Six Flags)
Buying supplies for World Thinking Day or other events
Activities (usually the troop will pay a portion and the parents will pay a portion of the fees)
Badges
Renewal fees for the next year
