Getting Started
When is a good time to get started?
Like most Cub Scout Packs, we go year-round. You can become a scout at anytime. Just contact our Cubmaster or the Den Leader in your age group - or, just show up at one of our meetings.
If you have an interest in learning more about our Pack, if you have questions, or if you are ready to get started, please click here and fill out our website form. It only takes a minute and we will contact you shortly.
When do we meet?
Pack Meetings are normally held once per month and all of our scouts (1st-5th grade) get together in the same place. The meeting is normally led by the Cubmaster. Keep an eye on the calendar for the date. You are welcome to stop by if you are considering joining the pack. We gear the meeting towards the kids and the goal is to have fun and recognize them for their recent accomplishments (with awards, pins, loops, badges, and whatever else we dream up).
Den Meetings (when just one age group meets - with the Den Leader) are normally held twice a month and when there are specific outings.
To verify meeting times, you can check the calendar here.
What is the Cost of Joining?
We’ll go though the numbers at the first pack meeting, but we do need to collect dues to keep our pack solvent, even with the great work we do on fundraising! This year dues will be $120 for Lions through Webelos and $80 for our Arrow of Light families (as they cross into troops in February). We would like to get all dues resolved on/before our Halloween party on October 18th.
We know Scouting isn’t cheap, we do our best, but it does take funds. We are however 100% committed to the ideal that finances must NEVER prevent a boy from participating in our pack. If you need help with respect to dues or uniforms. PLEASE reach out to me (chair@pack748.com) we have scholarships and other methods to make sure every boy can learn, grow, and enjoy scouting.
