Membership
New Scouts
To join Cub Scouts, visit https://beascout.scouting.org, search for 'Pack 233’ and complete the online registration form. You’ll be contacted by a Pack leader shortly after submission. Alternatively, use the link here to visit the Pack website and click “Join” at the bottom; https://sites.google.com/Pack233.org/cub-scout-Pack-233
Returning Scouts
Scouts are required to re-register annually. For younger scouts, this date will coincide with the anniversary of the initial registration; for older scouts, it is typically at the end of the year (due to changes in BSA registration policies). You will likely receive an automated e mail or be contacted by your Den leader when it is time to renew registration. To do so, visit my.scouting.org, login using the credentials created when you registered, and click “My Application”.
Registration Fees
Annual registration fees are paid to the BSA organization and local BSA Council with which the Pack is affiliated. The annual registration fees are:
- BSA National Registration: $85
- Council Fee: $50
- Administrative Fee: $4
- Scout Life Magazine subscription (Optional): $15
Financial assistance may be available – contact the BSA council during registration if interested.
Pack Dues
The registration fees are paid to the Council to support the costs of the entire Cub Scout organization, including background checks, campsite maintenance, and other sponsored activities. To help support our own Pack, we emphasize fundraising throughout the year to prorate the cost of various Pack activities, such as semiannual camping trips and local events. There may be additional costs for families during the year for certain Pack and den activities, though we aim to offset those as much as possible and keep expenses to a minimum.
