How do I pay lodge dues?

The easiest way to pay your annual dues is during your unit’s annual charter renewal process. Your unit will receive a roster of Arrowmen who are due to renew their membership, and the unit can collect and return the fees to the council when they turn in charter renewal documents. Otherwise, dues can be paid at the Mountaineer Area Council Service Center during regular business hours or at a lodge event.
