Documents, payments & ways to help
Shared pack documents
Campout directions, packing lists, event details, and other documents for pack families — in our shared Google Drive folder.
The folder is viewable by anyone with the link, so nothing personal or medical is ever posted there. Have something to share with the pack? Email it to chair@pack226.org.
Payments & donations
Camping fees, activity fees, and cash donations to Pack 226 — paid securely online through St. Michael’s giving system (Pushpay).
Outfit our Scouts
Prefer to give gear? Our Amazon wish list has the supplies the pack needs — pick an item and it ships straight to us.
Spreading the word? Print & share our donations flyer (PDF) → — one page with QR codes for both ways to give.
Popcorn season — sign up on Trail’s End
Our Scouts fund their adventures by selling popcorn through Trail’s End. Getting your Scout connected to the pack takes three steps:
Download the Trail’s End app
Log in or register your Scout
Open the app and sign in with an existing account, or create a new Scout profile.
Enter our unit code
This connects your Scout to Pack 226:
INIQ5
Once connected, families can record sales, sign up for storefront shifts (like our Oct 11 table after Masses), and track their Scout’s progress — all in the app.
Health & Medical Record
Scouting America requires every Scout and every participating adult to have a current Annual Health & Medical Record (Parts A & B) on file with the pack. It’s a parent-completed form — no doctor’s visit needed for typical Cub Scout activities — and it’s good for 12 months. We collect them each August.
- Annual Health & Medical Record (Parts A & B) Download the current form, instructions, and FAQs directly from Scouting America: scouting.org/health-and-safety/ahmr
- Turn it in Print, complete, and hand Parts A & B to your den leader or any pack leader at a meeting. Attach a copy of your insurance card (front and back).
