2024 - 2025 Budget Forecast

Pack 256 provides information transparently - and one important aspect of this approach is to be open about the budget of the Pack. Pack 256 is fortunate to be able to offset over 50% of the yearly cost of scouting (less camping) for each scout in our Pack. This is done by the generosity of our benefactors, parents and by strategic and purposeful fundraising. In addition - scouts have the ability to offset their expenses even further by participating in fundraising activities. The budget will be updated from time to time - so be sure to check back for updates. For 2024-2025, each Scout pays $120 for 12 months membership in Scouting America and Cub Scout Pack 256. For certain events, such as camping, participants pay a set amount in addition to offset additional costs associated with the event.
