  • Open or maintain a bank account in the pack's name and arrange for all transactions to be signed by any two of the three members; Cubmaster, Committee Chair, or Treasurer.


  • Approve all budget expenditures. Check all disbursements against budget allowances, and pay bills by check. The pack committee chair should approve bills before payment.


  • Keep up-to-date financial records. Enter all income and expenditures under the proper budget item in the finance section of the Pack Record Book. Credit each Cub Scout with earnings incentive programs. Periodically compare the records with those of the den leaders to make sure they agree. Give leadership in developing a coordinated record-keeping system in the pack.


  • Be responsible for thrift training within the pack. Encourage each den leader to explain the pack financial plan to each boy and his family so that boys will accept responsibility for contributing to fund raisers and family members will be aware of pack fund raising goals.


  • Periodically report on the pack's financial condition at the monthly pack leaders' meeting. Make regular monthly reports to the pack committee at the pack leaders' meeting, and report to the chartered organization as often as desirable on the financial condition of the pack.

  • Guide the pack in conducting council-approved pack money-earning projects.
