Popcorn/Campership Policy
Background
A few years ago, because of the tremendous success of the annual popcorn sales, the Pack Committee decided that our scouts should benefit directly from their sales efforts. The decision was made that a percentage of a boys' sales dollars would be allocated to an individual account. The Pack Committee decides each year what the percentage will be.
Official Policy
Purpose: To create accounts for all boys to be able to carry over funds earned from their percent of the fundraisers done each year.
How: The Pack Treasurer keeps a spreadsheet to track earnings from each fundraiser minus expenses from each event participated in. The spreadsheet is set up for more than one fundraiser and more than one event. Event expenses are input into separate sheet and then read into expense tracking sheet.
What: Allow boys to use their percent of fundraising dollars to pay for all expenses associated with the following:
- All possible summer camps/events, including paying for Dad in Fun with Son.
- Any events during the school year that cost money.
Why: Allow boys to pay for many of their Scout expenses by working hard at the fundraisers. Increase the incentive for Scouts to sell more popcorn each year, which would not only benefit the boys, but the Pack too.
When: This took effect with the 2006 Popcorn sales.
NOTE: The money for each Scout will be carried over each year and transferred into Boy Scouts only if the boy stays in Scouts. If the boy leaves scouts, the money returns to the pack.
