Friends of Cub Scout Pack #117

Goal: $3,000.00

Specific Need

Friends of Cub Scout Pack #117 has a goal of making scouting available to as many of our local youth as possible.  Over the course of a year, it costs nearly $400 per scout to participate in Cub Scouts.  This includes an annual re-carter fee of around $75 per scout, Summer Camp fees which can cost up to $150 plus expenses, the cost of uniforms, materials, and activity fees.  

Over the past few years, the cost to participate in scouting has gone up but the ability to raise money through fundraising has become more difficult.  Each year, local scouts participate in several fundraisers to try to offset the costs associated with scouting.  

By supporting Friends of Cub Scout Pack #117, you will give current and future local cub scouts the ability to focus their energy on developing the core values associated with participating in Cub Scouts.    

Pack 117 has a history of being a very active group.  Along with campouts, an annual lock-in, pinewood derby’s, camps and other fun activities, Pack 117 has also been involved with many community support projects.  This includes Scouting for Food where the group collected and then donated over 2500lbs of food to the North Brown County Food Pantry in the fall of 2022.  Pack 117 has also participated in the annual kids Halloween parade, Trash the Trash Day and hosted a fishing derby open to all youth in the area.  

Thank you for considering Friends of Cub Scout Pack #117 as a potential recipient of your donation.
