There are 4 (four) accounts with negative balances that are of concern: Josh Collins, Nathan Glass, Sam Lee (includes a Hercules rental), and Mike Molsen. 

A discount was applied to Adult Leaders for Summer Camp.  Summer Camp has been balanced out.

On September 1 all Scout's Accounts will be charged $30 fund raising fee.

A request had been made by the Lugn family to refund his summer camp fee for non attendance.  After much discussion it was agreed upon to not refund money out of the Troop's general fund because no refund came from Camp Lewis and Clark.  Deb Carney will draft a letter to Sara Lugn.
