PACK TREASURER
- Help the pack committee and Cubmaster establish a sound financial program for the pack with a pack budget plan.
- Open or maintain a bank account in the pack's name and arrange for all transactions to be signed by any two of the Cubmaster,
pack committee chair, secretary, 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.
- Collect dues from den leaders at the pack leaders' meeting, preferably 'in sealed den dues envelopes. Open envelopes in
the presence of den leaders. Give receipts for these funds, and deposit the money in the bank account.
- 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 payment of dues. From time to time, 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 paying dues and family members will be alert to opportunities
for boys to earn dues money and develop habits of thrift.
- On the request of den leaders, sympathetically counsel with a boy who does not pay dues, determine the reason, and encourage
regular payment. If the boy is unable to pay, work out a plan with the Cubmaster and pack committee so that the boy can earn
dues.
- 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.
- Provide petty cash needed by leaders. Keep a record of expenditures.
- Guide the pack in conducting council-approved pack money-earning projects.
