How to Contact the Treasurer


Email alamedatroop11treasurer@gmail.com ​ ​


​Expense Reimbursement


Please email the treasurer a brief description of your expense plus scanned receipt to initiate reimbursement.



Payment / Donations


If you owe money or would like to donate money to the troop you need to hand a check or cash to the treasurer. 



Scout Account


Transactions and balances for all Scout Accounts can be accessed in real-time. You will need to sign up for access by providing a Google account email to the treasurer. 

The first tab "Scount Accounts" lists all the information. As with any savings account positive numbers indicate a credit, negative numbers indicate a balance due.

Please note that CTPU credits are only posted once as a lump sum at the conclusion of each CTPU year. The scout account won't show you updates from individual tree sales. For individual tree sales tracking use your own tracking for offline sales and Paypal reports  (see Financial Account Access below) for online sales. 



Tree Sales / Membership Fees


All details on tree sales and membership fees can also be found in the Scout Accounts GoogleSheet (see above for access). 

The second tab "Tree Sales" lists subtotals for cash, check and PayPal sales. It also lists the annual adjustment to Scout Accounts based on total sales and annual membership fee: The annual membership fee is deducted from total sales. If a scout sold less than the membership fee the remainder is debited to the Scout Account. If a scout sold more than the membership fee half of the surplus is credited to the Scout Account (with the other half going to the troop). 

For the underlying transaction details check out tabs "PayPal" and "Checks".  



Financial Account Access


If you would like 24/7 read access to our bank and/or PayPal account (to see account balances and transactions) please send your full name and email address to the treasurer. Once access is granted you can use Chase and PayPal web tools or mobile apps to access the information.
