Fall Fundraisers

After a rough two years of fundraising, we need everyone's help to keep our Pack program running strong!

Please see the links below to our current fundraisers.

Rib Cook (October 10 - November 1) - Online and In Person

This is our most important fall fundraiser. All Scouts are expected to participate and sell a minimum of 10 racks of ribs. Our goal is to sell 500 racks of ribs and we need everyone's help to accomplish this in a limited amount of time. Check out our Rib Cook Page for more information!

Popcorn Sale (August - December 2021) - Online only

This is a "bonus" fall fundraiser, with online sales only! Set up your Scouts sales page, share it on social media or by email and let it sell itself! The best part is that the popcorn is shipped straight to the buyers door! Check out our Popcorn Page for more information.

Scout / Parent Action Items

Fall 2021

Annual Pack Dues: Our Annual Pack Dues are $200 per Scout (including the BSA national fees) this year. The dues allow us to maintain and continue to grow our awesome Scout program here at St. Cecilia. After assessing other youth activities and costs, we believe this is a great value for all that we provide! In case you want more detail regarding this year's increase, an in-depth explanation is given here.

Note that any Annual Registration Fees paid directly to the BSA when registering through the online system (not including the $25 new member fee) will be deducted from the Annual Pack Dues. We will provide the details on our new payment system via email soon! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us for more information at shacpack673@gmail.com.
