Pack 622 Newsletter
October 23, 2007

Annual Pack Fees: The annual fee for Pack 622 is $30 per year ($34 per new scout) for each scout who actively participates in the Pack’s winter fundraising event. In order to qualify for the $30 yearly dues, the scout must sell 6 or more wreaths. If a family chooses not to participate in the fundraiser, the yearly pack fees are $60 per scout ($64 per new scout).
The annual fee offsets the cost of offering a robust scouting program. Specifically it funds our charter fees and pack activities throughout the year. Please remit your payment to the Pack Treasurer (Frank Colbert) at the pack meeting on Oct. 23. Your support is very important in order to maintain a quality pack.
