Pack 43 Fall Fundraiser

Pack 43 is holding a Fall fundraiser! After the popularity of the candle fundraiser earlier this year, we have decided to make this our next fundraising effort. Not only will we have the same amazingly delicious smelling candles to sell, we have increased the items we will be offering to a lot more than just candles!

We need your help to help the pack go! Send your out of state friends and family to this website so they can view the catalogue of offerings online to choose what they wish to order. Best of all, your gifts will arrive in plenty of time to include them in your holiday packages!

Rent-A-Scout Program!

Rent-A-Scout is a new program started by Safety Harbor's Cub Scout Pack 43 in an effort to give back to the members of the Safety Harbor community and help earn some money to support the continuation of the pack.

Cub Scouts are taught to 'Do Your Best' in everything that they do, and a big part of the Cub Scouting program is teaching young boys to contribute in a meaningful way to their community.

Help us teach our scouts how to do a good turn for their community and in return, you can finally get that job done that you've been meaning to do!

No job is too small!

There is no charge for jobs the scouts do for you, although we do ask for donations to help keep the pack going if you feel the job was well done.

Contact us today to request the services of our cub scouts. We will schedule a day with you and bring over 2 to 5 scouts (depending on the size of the job), along with their adult supervisors.

Pack 43 has been a cornerstone of the Safety Harbor community for more than 50 years. Please help support Safety Harbor's longest running Cub Scout pack!

Rent a scout today!
