We have had a program called "Cubby Bucks" for the last 3 years. Only money from fundraisers is put into the account. They can be used for any event and dues. We give the leaders updated numbers once a month. We use PackLedger from TroopMaster to track the balances for each scout(and all of our financials) as the program is set up for exactly this use. When the boy either moves up to Boy Scouts or transfers to another pack we send a check to the appropriate pack/troop for them to use. To be honest we have not had a boy drop out that had a balance. The ones that leave usually do not participate in the fundraisers.
In this current economy the parents love this idea and being able to raise the funds needed to participate so they have no out of pocket costs. No arguments or issues so far.
