Treasurer
Responsibilities:
- 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.

- Guide the pack in conducting council-approved pack money-earning projects.
