The payment schedule is as follows:
1. 20% of remaining fees: due 30 days following registration. 2. 50% of remaining fees: due October 1st , 2024. 3. Final Payment – balance due April 1st, 2025 These are the due dates to Northen Tier, so we will need to collect payment a week earlier

So our first payment due to the troop is $300.00.
