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.
