Scholarships are available through the Pack to assist with membership dues, uniforms, activities, trips and events. The Pack’s committee is pleased to offer this opportunity. Every Pack member is a vital and precious part of our family, so please do not hesitate to take advantage of the scholarship if the need is there.

Funding for the scholarship program is provided by private donations and by the allocation of funds raised or donated through Pack 140 fundraising programs. Scholarships will be awarded based on financial need without regard of race, gender, national origin or disability.
