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, supports 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.
Pack 443 holds two fundraising events each year, Popcorn Sales and Wreath Sales. The sale of these items fund pack expenses related to field trips and events, advancement costs and patches, and supplies for crafts. While we do not require dues at pack meetings, specific dens may require a nominal dues payment to pay for den supplies.
