Here is the Pack 22 current scout account rules. If you had money in your account from last year's sales and didn't use it all, you will have to ask the Pack Treasurer, to check your balance on a spreadsheet that he maintains. The money just comes from popcorn sales. For 2005, 30% of sales over $300 would go into the Scout's account, the other 5% would go to the general pack fund. Achievements and badges should come from the pack general fund or rank badges should be free if we met our friends of scouting goal from last year. To access these funds, you either ask the treasurer at a pack meeting, or when people are organizing events they could ask people if they want the payment made from their scout account. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Scout Account Rules
A Scout Account may be used to pay for any and/or all Scouting costs/fees:
The cost to participate in a den, pack, district, or council activity, including summer camp.
Annual pack registration fees, Boys Life, and uniforms.
Any merchandise from the scout shop or the BSA Catalog.
Any scouting related purchase like tents, backpacks, sleeping bags, hiking boots that are first approved by your den leader.
A donation to your den, your pack, a favorite charity or church of your choosing.
If an individual does not re-register with our Pack, all credit remaining in his Scout Account will be transferred back to the general fund. If an individual who does not re-register has another family member in our Pack, the amount of credit in the account may be transferred to the Scout Account of the family member remaining in our pack.
In the event an individual transfers to another Scouting unit that utilizes individual credit accounts, any credit remaining in his Scout Account will be transferred to the new unit if a request to do this is received within three months of the individual’s departure of the pack. If the new Scouting unit doesn’t utilize Scout Accounts, the Scout must submit suitable receipts to the Pack Treasurer for reimbursement. If no reimbursement request is received within three months, the credit will be transferred to back to the general fund.
