Thank you for choosing to enroll your son / daughter in Scouting! We are excited that you chose to join us at Pack 1776. Please follow the instructions below to start the journey. If you have any questions along the way, please contact our Committee Chair.
SCOUT PARENTS
SCOUT PARENTS
Each scout (girl or boy, kindergarten through 5th grade) who is new to Cub Scouts need to register with the BSA.
If your child is new to scouts, register online with the BSA. Please NOTE that you will be required to pay the prorated BSA Membership fee for the remaining months of the current year with a credit card.
If your child is already registered with another Pack, you will have to fill out a BSA paper application to transfer your Scout to our unit. You may contact our Committee Chair to request an application.
