Financial Assistance:

The goal of Pack 555 is not to deny a Scouting experience to any boy because of an inability to pay dues. A variety of options are available to assist boys who need financial assistance.  If your family is requesting financial assistance, we kindly request that you participate in our fundraising efforts to help provide the funds used for this purpose.
