This is awesome. Thank you for the link. And your first post makes sense. Our CO is the same for both the pack and troop. I like the idea of the 70/30 split. It's a way to build rainy-day funds for things like replacing the derby track, maintenance on the pack trailer, or in our case purchasing a pack trailer, while at the same time building incentive for all to participate in the fundraising opportunities. Either way, I think it's a conversation we need to sit down and have as a full pack committee once it's been established this summer. Thanks for the detailed explanation and reminder about the CO ultimately "owning" everything.

Also, our Scoutbook reports have been inaccurately setting up our PO's including missing an entire den's worth of one adventure. We are going to use a manual tracker as a safety net because of all the issues we've seen with Scoutbook this year. It's created a lot of go-back work for us.

I see. So no general fund that goes toward general pack expenses. You all maintain an individual ledger for each scout and he / she takes it with them when they go. That could significantly impact that overall experience we have for our pack. We'll have to mull that one over. Not something I'm willing to overturn the applecart right now over, so we'll probably do status quo on this one. Thanks all.

Hello all! It's my first post and I'm learning a lot so far. Thanks for all the help. Seeing the need for more energy in our pack leadership, I am now taking over as Cubmaster. I also have a new, energized Committee Chair and we are so excited to breath new life into our program for these kids! While going over some expenses we had last weekend for camping, our treasurer, who is a carryover from the last committee, said we haven't given the Troop any money for the past few years for the scouts crossing over and that we needed to catch up. I've been involved in scouting for a long time and I have never heard of such a thing. I was under the impression that the money our scouts worked hard raising was for them. Our troop doesn't really contribute to our pack in any meaningful way. I've only ever seen one or two scouts from the troop attend a couple of our pack meetings in the past three years. So to my question, is this normal? I thought the troop would have their own opportunities for fundraising for the scouts once they crossed over. Am I missing something? Thanks again for the input! So much to learn :-)
