Welcoming New Scouts For 2025-2026
Please support our pack by purchasing popcorn. Click the "Trails End Pack Account" Link above.
Pack dues are required for the year so that items given and activities completed are funded. BSA does not fund activities. Pack committee votes on the budget and spending of items. Fundraising also supports communication skills for the scouts. They learn to speak clearly, properly and comfortably with adults and others. As well, they are out in the community meeting and interacting with stakeholders in their local community.
Dues can be fully paid through fundraising. 2024-2025 year, each scout goal will be $300 profit. Most of our scouts reached their goal in only 2-3 selling opportunities in the early fall. Several opportunities are provided for the scouts to fund raise with the pack or on their own. We have an excellent relationship with Rudy's on Litchfield where we sell popcorn and other items. As well, we do Holiday wreaths in the fall.
