Question	Why does it cost a different amount each time there is a monthly campout?
Answer	The cost of each campout varies because the amount charged by each location at which we camp is different. For example, the cost for us to camp at Buck Hill in Pascoag, RI is only $50 per weekend; cabin camping at Treasure Valley, Camp Sayre or other places usually costs between $150 and $200 per weekend.  Typically, Knox Trail Council-sponsored events, such as the Freeze-out or Spring Camporee, cost more—about $15 per person—because the Council sets a fee needed to cover its expenses to operate the event.  For the typical monthly campout, we calculate the cost per Scout/adult by dividing the expected number of campers (which averages roughly the same number over the course of a year) into the cost per site.  In some cases, we also are charged a fee-per-person in addition to the camp site fee. Troop 44 does not make any money on campout fees.  Depending upon actual participation, we make take in a little less or a little more than we need per campout, but we aim to "break even" over the course of each year.
