To join, fill out an online application form at https://my.bsa.us/227pab0030mb. You will pay BSA directly via credit card for all but the Pack fee and t-shirt ($60). Please submit this amount to the Pack, either by Paypal (http://www.paypal.me/Pack30/), Venmo (https://venmo.com/u/Pack30), or check (made out to "Cub Scout Pack 30").
To renew, please submit your renewal to BSA directly through my.scouting.org when you receive you renewal notification. Please submit your pack fee ($50) to the Pack, either by Paypal (http://www.paypal.me/Pack30/), Venmo (https://venmo.com/u/Pack30), or check (made out to "Cub Scout Pack 30").
In addition to the above fees, families purchase a uniform for their Cub Scout (from a local Scout Shop, or online at http://www.scoutstuff.org) and a book for each Den they participate in (Lion, Tiger, Wolf, Bear, and Webelos), which contains the activities and requirements for advancement for Scouts of each grade level. The BSA has a helpful guide for patch placement.
Financial Assistance: If you are considering joining or renewing in Pack 30 but find these costs to be tough for your budget, please contact us at info@pack30.com. Some financial assistance is available, as are used uniforms and books. No one should miss out on Scouting because of the cost!
