Since the last parents meeting, we had income
of $1228 in pop can receipts. Expenses were
$32 for awards, $397 in campout expenses, $740 transfer of scout accounts to
Troop 29 for scouts that crossed over,$49 for nitrol gloves for pop can sorting, and $254 for scout
account reimbursements. $712 was
forfeited from scout accounts to the campership fund for the Webelos 2s that
did not cross over.
· Quarterly budget review the pack general and campership funds total $19,294 vs. a budgeted $11,605. The pop can fundraiser is entirely responsible for this result. This gives us the opportunity to not hold as many pop can drives when times are busy.
· Budget proposal for 2022-2023 reviewing past and expected expenditures, a budget proposal for the next school year was approved. Income from pop can fundraising was very conservative, yet yielded a positive cash flow at the end of the next budget year. Contact Chris Klaren if you would like to view a copy.
