Volunteering While the program is from the Boy Scouts of America, it is the parents that implement the program. Our pack policy is that all families contribute in their dens. However we need help at other levels too. Your Scout and the rest of the pack succeed by the help and dedication of the parents in the pack. For committing to fill one of the named volunteer positions in the pack, we offer credit towards the first payment. There are different positions available at different commitment levels. There are many “A” level volunteer positions that offer a $100 credit against the first payment, many “B” positions that offer a $50 credit against the first payment, and many “C” positions that offer a $25 credit against the first payment. Descriptions of the various volunteer positions are available on the pack website. Please talk to the Cubmaster or Committee Chair for more information.

Fundraising. Popcorn Sales are the main source of income for the Pack. The scout is encouraged to pay his own way by working on BSA approved money-earning projects like popcorn. Not only will selling popcorn earn a scout fabulous awards and prizes, but participation in popcorn sales helps offset the second payment. Any amount of popcorn sales will help reduce the amount of your second payment by a prorated amount.

A limited numbers of scholarships are available. Pack 872 follows BSA guidelines for Scholarships. Please speak with the Committee Chair regarding the specifics.
