cub scout funds transfer to boy scouts?


Recommended Posts

Our Pack does Scout accounts and we've been really happy with it. For us, it has done the following.

 

- It increases sales, because the parents and the boy (mostly the parents) see it reducing their costs.

- It increases attendance at activities because Parents now have a perceived "cost" of the activity.

 

Our pack charges dues and for activities that cost money. From the popcorn sale, we keep 5% to cover background expenses and 25% of all sales go into that Scouts account for use on anything that the pack does that costs. When a Webelos bridges over, their account portion is transfered to the Troop.

The scout account was approx $130. It wasn't the money persay as it was her demanding it in exchange for the Eagle letters and since we had decided as a committee not to just cut a check to a scout when he leaves.

 

It went through all of the avenues suggested above and it came down to the District and CO telling us to do what we feel is necessary. We felt that paying her the account to get the boy's letters back was the way to end this once and for all.

 

We have learned and will not let it happen again. But, it was a painful lesson.
