USS Yorktown, WePay

In January 2012, the troop plans to travel & tour the USS Yorktown (http://www.patriotspoint.org/exhibits/yorktown/). While the final costs for fuel & meals won't be due until January, the ship requires that we pay-in-full for each attendee that will stay with the troop on the ship. That tour/camp fee is $90 per person & we must pay the final amount by 11/17/11.


To that end, if your scout (and others in your family) plan to attend the January outing, we're asking that you pay the Yorktown fee ($90/person) by November 11. You're welcome to pay the amount in a single $90-payment or break it up into two payments (i.e. one in October & the second by November 11). You may pay by check, cash, or online via WePay.com (WePay requires a membership log-in & a confirmed bank account). WePay.com members can pay at the following web address after having logged in:

Incidentally, if you're a WePay member, you can create a shortcut on your desktop & copy/paste the aforementioned link into that shortcut. If you do so, double-clicking on that link will prompt you for your log-in info, then take you directly to the Troop 21 payment page.


If paying by cash, please include it in an envelope with the name(s) from your family that are covered by the payment. If you're paying by check, please make the check out to "BSA Troop 21" & list the names on the check. If paying online, you can notate in the comment box that the payment is for the Yorktown & list the appropriate name(s) there.


Also, the troop received a few cash payments for the most recent trip horseback riding, however the cash wasn't attributed to individual scouts. I want to make sure that the proper scouts get credit for having paid for the trip. If you paid by cash, please email me & let me know the name(s) & amounts that you paid.


As always, please let me know of any questions. Thank you.
