JOINING

For the second year in a row, all annual dues and membership fees are waived due to the East Hampton Adventure Guides' operating surplus!

For fathers, one of the un-official slogans for the East Hampton Adventure Guides is "no fundraising, only fun!"  We do not perform any East Hampton nation (town-wide) fund raising activities like selling candy bars, raffles, etc.  We feel there is already too much of this going on between school and scouting programs in town.  

Our current membership fee is $0 per year for every family!  Fathers with more than one child in the same or different  tribes still only pay $0.  Some activities, such as camp outs, require an additional fee.  If the Nation is running low on funds, we generally 'pass the hat' to make ends meet. 

Many of the fathers involved with the Adventure Guides are employed by companies who donate to community and civic organizations.  In the past several years, much of the operating budget has been met with those donations.

Most Circles (tribes) collect a dollar or two of wampum at the start of each meeting for individual tribal activities.  The child habitually receives the dollar from their dad, but most tribes have the child say to the rest of the group why they deserve the dollar.  Some typical responses are:  cleaning my room, setting the table, helping out with the care of a little brother or sister, etc.  The collected funds then are used for individual tribal parties, skating parties, bowling, pizza, etc.
