Our pack is committed to barrier-free Scouting. We raise and provide scholarship funding for those in need, so please do reach out if you are interested in Scouting and need assistance.

All scouts are provided the opportunity to raise funds through Council approved fundraisers to offset out-of-pocket costs.

On average, it costs about $600 per scout for a year of membership, events and activities, adventures and awards. This amount includes expenses incurred by families and the pack, including but not limited to:

• Annual Scouting America & Council Registration

• Uniform & Awards

• Activities, Events, & Adventures

• Pack Supplies & Expenses

NOTE:  There are no paid positions at the pack level.

Scouts are known for selling popcorn in partnership with Trails End. This is our pack's only fundraiser, which occurs primarily in mid-August through mid-November. Our volunteer Popcorn Kernel oversees this fundraiser, managing inventory and assisting scouts and parents along the way.

How scouts sell Trails End has evolved over the years to now include online, neighborhood (wagon sales), and storefront sales. Each scout gets a dedicated website for selling to anyone, anywhere - product is shipped by Trails End. Scouts can check-out inventory to sell by wagon in their neighborhood. And, scouts can sign-up online to cover storefront shifts at local retailers, a quick selling opportunity.

Individual and pack sales goals are set each year to fund our program. Scouts can raise their pack dues, and earn cash rewards (gift cards) from Trails End. Reaching our pack goal ensures funding and the addition of a special event to our calendar!

The success of our pack and program is entirely reliant on registered adult volunteers who administer the program as either direct-contact Leaders or behind the scenes as Committee Members. We cannot survive or thrive without these volunteers. Ideally, we need 14 Leaders and 14 Committee Members to spread the workload.

Our registered adult leaders each put in about 10-15 additional hours per month for meetings, planning, and handling various administrative tasks. In appreciation for this time and skill, our pack pays for their annual registration, all required training, and a modest uniform allowance.

We use Google Workspace to stay organized, access online tools, and make things easier for everyone to do their volunteer work.

A monthly Parent & Committee meeting provides opportunity for all of our parents to share feedback and participate in pack planning!
