Pack 1 By-Laws and Policies

Pack 1 and the Boy Scouts of America have a limited fund to help Scouts who may need assistance paying their annual dues or covering the cost of selected events. The Boy Scouts of America and Pack 1 do not want cost to prevent interested boys from joining or being active Scouts! These funds are need-based and applied on a first come first served basis. Any Scout’s family that needs a scholarship or assistance is encouraged to approach their Den Leader or the Cubmaster directly to discuss their need and submit a confidential application. Any information about need will be kept strictly confidential. Scholarships covering dues may be partial or full depending on the Pack’s budget and the family’s circumstances. All scholarships or Assistance funds are applied at the discretion of the Cubmaster with the approval of the Pack Committee.

Scholarship and Assistance funds come from the Pack’s budget and represent money from everyone in the Pack. Therefore, in order to receive Scholarship or Assistance funds the pack expects Scouts and their families to be active and contributing members of the Pack, submit an application and meet certain requirements.

Requirements to receive scholarship or assistance funds:

1. Attend a minimum of 50% of den meetings, pack meetings and other pack events
2. Participate in pack fundraising activities
3. Parent or guardian will lead at least one of the pack events your den is responsible for or serve in a volunteer position with the pack

Any recipient who receives scholarship or assistance funds but does not meet these requirements may not be eligible for such funds in the future.
