Our relationship with Troop 104 gives us ready access to Boy Scouts who serve as assistants to our den leaders and gives our eldest cub scouts a destination when they have graduated out of our pack. This seemingly minor fact can be critical in making a choice of which pack to join. It is difficult to convince a young man to join Boy Scouts in this modern age. If, however, he has always been part of scouting and the transition is seemingly minor, he is more likely to remain a part of the tradition of honesty and clean fun that makes up the core of the scouting experience. Another fact that sets Pack 104 apart is our fundraising.
Every pack needs to pay for the activities in which the boys participate.
Instead of a constant parade of fundraising activities that are similar to the things your child is already asked to do, Pack 104 only has one fundraiser per year. Pack 104 and Troop 104 combine to sell christmas trees each December. This activity raises most of the funds we need for the rest of the year. Each cub is assigned a load of five work shifts of four hours each. Tree lot sales work ranges mostly from helping customers choose a tree to actually ringing up the sale and giving them a receipt.
