Financial Assistance

Scouting families,

In today's climate, Cub Scouts is unmatched in aiding in the preparation of youth in citizenship, character, faith, family activities and respect. North West Austin Rotary is always proud to be the Charter Organization for Pack 149. We realize with the economy and other outside events can cause even the small financial commitment of Scouting to be a decision for families to consider in time of struggles As the Cub Scout motto is 'Do your best' and the Rotary motto is 'Service above self' it seems only fitting that our club do what we can to promote every opportunity for these young scouts to excel and enjoy the benefits of Scouting. 

Working with the Cubmaster this year, we have put together a sponsorship and a process for scout families that may find themselves in a sense of need to help keep the scouts active with the Pack. The process is straight forward and confidential. Family member can contact the NWAR Scouting Chairperson, Kristi Holmes, kristiholmesak@hotmail.com, with the nature of the need. The sponsorship is intended to assist in dues, campout fees and specific uniform costs. This can be for a one time need in short term crisis or longer term sponsorship. It is not intended for fundraiser actives such as the Cub Scout annual popcorn sales. Once reviewed and approved, NWAR will direct the release of funds to the Pack. It is the hope of NWAR and Pack 149 that every scout can have the opportunity to experience Scouts and 'Do their Best!'.
