Cub Scout Pack 289
Prosper, TX
Supporting Every Scout
Cub Scouting is widely regarded as one of the least expensive extracurricular activities for young families. However, we recognize that the costs of gear, dues, and events can still be a hurdle for some. Pack 289 is committed to inclusivity; our fundraising efforts are the heartbeat of our pack, ensuring that every scout can join the adventure and participate fully, regardless of financial circumstances.
Trails End Popcorn
The annual Trails End sale is a highlight of the Scouting year, empowering scouts to fund their own journey. Scouts can participate through multiple convenient channels: taking orders in person with a classic wagon, sharing their personalized sales link online with far-away friends, or greeting neighbors at our local storefront sales right here in Prosper. This program is designed to be evergreen, allowing families to offset dues and activity costs directly year after year by simply participating in the pack's primary fundraiser.
