Finances, Funds and Fees… oh my!
Hightower Trail Roundtable kicked off with laughs and memories. Prior to getting into the nitty gritty of unit finance, Erika Fields prompted the Scouters to share some childhood memories. In the crisp air and clear skies of the late October evening in Atlanta, we shared favorite childhood costumes and funny stories. Check the list below for Erika’s top resources for Unit Finances. Attendees also met our new district executive, Nathan Ray – he grew up in our District, and was a member of Troop 6.
