As part of reaching a certain goal our popcorn committee is considering having a camp out for those selling a certain dollar amount. I know that dens cannot have their own separate camp out (except webelos), it must be a pack event. Can a portion of the pack, including all dens, have an overnight camp out with invitation based on reaching a fundraising goal? I have mixed feelings. I can see covering costs based on how much is earned, but not sure if it should if reaching an amount should be required for an event.

This showed up in a google search and wanted to make a comment even though it's an old post. We do pack overnighters a few times a year, never den only. We are checking with our council to see if we can do a tiger camp out this weekend because a council organized tiger only overnight event was cancelled at the last minute. At the parent meeting we emphasized a tiger event with focus on that age group. There are upcoming pack and council wide camping events which fill most upcoming weekends. The tiger prowl has always been a popular event that made new scouts feel special and initiated into the program. Would not consider it except it is same time as the original event, at a campsite that has been council approved (next door to a fire rescue station), will have at least two BALOO trained adults, and several tiger families want to go because they cleared their schedule. Would not prohibit other dens from coming, but no time to plan with them. The den discussed it among themselves and jumped at the idea when it was suggested by someone in the den. We will not do it without council saying there is an approved way. Any thoughts on this type of situation, especially for the rule experts and sticklers?
