OBJECTIVE AND DISBURSEMENT
- Awards
may be made for educational scholarship
for Watertown/Oakville boy scouts entering advanced education following
high
school.
- Awards
may also be made to individual boy scouts
needing financial assistance for High Adventure scouting activities on
an
as-needed basis.
- Awards
may be made to boy scouts outside of
Troop 52, but within the parameters of scouts living in
Watertown/Oakville or
belonging to a Watertown/Oakville Troop.
- Scouts
must have been active members of scouting
for a minimum of two years and in good standing.
- Weight
for award may be given to Eagle scouts,
but is most certainly and should not be limited to any scout rank. Since Joe LeClair himself achieved the rank
of Second Class, this is an example that all boy scouts should be
considered
equally, regardless of rank.
- If
possible, smaller, more numerous awards,
should be made from available fund interest rather than one or two
large
awards, per the request of Joseph LeClair Jr.
- As
many boy scouts as are interested may apply
for a scholastic award. The Scholarship Committee will use its
discretion as to
number of awards and financial amount of each.
- Serious
consideration should be given to family
income and number of family members or extraneous circumstances. Examples of these would be single parent
families, illness in the family, recent unemployment, additional
siblings in
college or higher education, etc.
- Awards
should be weighted more heavily on
financial need than on merit, however, both should be considered.
- Awards
should be given directly to scouts, not
to the institute of higher education.
- Parameters
for Objective and Disbursements may
be altered by majority vote of the Troop 52 General Committee or its
successor.
