Scout Signup Night

Of Interest to New Scouts!
. . . . and their parents

It's really not that expensive.	Whazzit Cost? Most packs raise money through a popcorn sale held in October. This sale funds most, if not all of the pack's program for the year. Some packs may collect a renewal fee in September or do an additional fundraiser later in the year. Scouts joining in the spring usually pay a small fee ($8-15) to cover Council registration and Boy's Life. Pack finances and budgeting vary widely from pack to pack. Ask your pack's adult leaders how this is handled by your pack.	Popcorn Sale October 2007
