Indiana, Pennsylvania
Pack Handbook: Financial Policies
(under construction)
This section contains our pack handbook. The handbook contains policies and information about our pack as well as information about Scouting America.
The handbook is currently undergoing a complete revision. All policies must be approved by the pack committee before they appear here.
Financial Records
The cost of running a Cub Scout Pack includes payments that the Pack must make to the Scouting America national office and local Council, den and pack supplies, awards, Pinewood derby expenses, Banquet expenses, camping, and much more. A portion of this money comes from the yearly Pack dues that each Scout pays. A significant portion comes from fundraising activities, namely the annual Popcorn sale.
To provide complete transparency, Pack 1011 will grant access to detailed financial records at any time. It is hoped that each parent will have at least a high-level awareness of Pack finances. The treasurer reports all income and expenses at Pack Committee meetings and summaries of the Pack’s finances will be reported regularly. A Pack budget is updated at least once a year. Parents are highly encouraged to participate in planning sessions related to the Pack finances. Any questions regarding the pack finances may be directed to the treasurer or pack committee chairperson.
