Financial
A. Pack Dues
Each Scout must pay the annual pack dues, which are are determined at the beginning of each school/Scout by the Pack Committee. Pack dues cover operating expenses which is approximately $65 per boy.
All Scouts who participate in the annual popcorn sales fund raiser (see below) can use the proceeds he earns towards paying pack dues. Each year a popcorn sales dollar amount is established that will equate in the amount of dues. For example: if a scout sells $250 worth of popcorn, the Scout’s Pack dues are waived. If the Scout sells less than the established amount, a dues table indicating how much the family must make up in dues see registration form.
Pack dues must be paid to the Pack Treasurer by the October pack meeting. Payment may be paid in two monthly installments, October and November, with the consent of the Pack Treasurer. Checks payable to Pack 184.
If the pack dues present a financial hardship for any family, full or partial scholarships will be disucssed by the Pack Committe at the October meeting. Den leaders will be asked to present the Scout’s situation to the Pack Committee. These discussions will be kept confidential.
B. Pack Fund Raising
The Pack Committee plans to hold as few fund-raisers as possible, therefore it is important each family supports the fund-raising efforts when they are held. Families are expected to participate in the primary fund-raiser each fall, which is popcorn sales. If your family chooses not to participate in the popcorn fund-raiser you will be asked to contribute an appropriate amount as outlined by the Pack Committee.
C. Den Dues
Den dues are left up to the Den Leader and are not part of the pack registration. These dues help cover the cost of supplies needed in doing Den activities.
D. Scout Uniform
The cost of the Cub Scout uniform is the responsibility of the family. Pack 184 has established a uniform standard which all Cub Scouts are expected to meet (see Section III Uniforms).
