Who Pays For It?:

Groups responsible for supporting Cub Scouting are the boys and their parents, the pack, the chartered organization, and the community.  The boy is encouraged to pay his own way by contributing dues each week.  Packs also obtain income by working on approved money-earning projects.  The community, including parents, support Cub Scouting through the United Way, Friends of Scouting enrollment, bequests, and special contributions to the BSA local council.  This financial support provides leadership training, outdoor programs, council service centers and other facilities, and professional service for units.
