Welcome back to all the return scouts! Welcome to all the new scouts and those wanting to learn more about our pack. Anytime of the year is a great time to join scouting, but early in the year is best!

Commitments
Commit to fundraising for the pack.
K-5 through 4th grade Cub Scouts
Each scout is expected to sell a set amount to help fund the pack. For 2021 the total sales requirement is $400 per scout . 60% of the profits above the initial sales goal will go to the scout acount, remaining 40% of profits go to the pack.
5th grade Cub Scouts
Each 5th grade Cub Scout has a total sales goal of $200 per scout (since 5th graders are only cub scouts half of the year then move into Boy Scouts). 60% of the profits above the initial sales goal will go to the scout acount, remaining 40% of profits go to the pack.
This money from fundraising is used to fund things such as:
Following year registration
Neckerchiefs and slides for the scouts
Advancement loops/pins/badges
Pack picnic
Pinewood derby cars
Pack outings
If you choose not sell, pack dues are $125. If you meet a partial sales requirement, all dues will be prorated. Profit for any sales above goal goes 60% to scout, 40% to pack. The scout account can be used to fund anything from the scout shop or the optional activities.
Help out with one pack activity. To have a successful year we need the help of all families. This help includes running a den, organizing a pack meeting (we will help you!), organizing the Christmas parade, helping with the pinewood derby, among many other activities.
