The following only applies to Scouts and leaders who have been with the pack for more than one year. New Scouts and Tigers are set for the year and do not need to do anything else.
For all others,
As we said over the summer, there is a change to how families are asked to pay for Scouting each year. It is now a 2 step process- pay $65 to the pack, and separately pay $153 (apparently $157.59 with fees) to Scouting America/Mayflower Council.
To complete the renewal process:
Open the renewal email and go to Click Here to Renew. Follow the steps.
There is an optional Scout Life magazine included by default. Make sure you opt out if you do not want the magazine. They will let you get multiple subscriptions, so be extra careful if you are renewing more than one Scout.
For adult leaders:
If you are a registered pack leader, you will get a separate email asking you to renew. The cost for that is $66.95 with fees. The Scout Life magazine is an option for leaders as well, so watch out for that. The pack will cover the registration cost for leaders (but not Scout Life). Send Johanna Jennings a copy of your registration for reimbursement.
Notes
Registrations expire on 12/31 every year regardless of when you renew. Renewing now is good until 12/31/25, so there is no benefit to waiting. The screen shot above was taken in November and you can see that the registration is good through all of next year.
We have heard that the online renewal system doesn’t work well on phones. Try to use a computer if you can.
Arrow of Light Scouts should go ahead and renew. Fees paid to Scouting America/Mayflower Council transfer to Scouts BSA troops when the AOLs cross over next February.
Please reach out to Chris if you can’t get the online renewal to work. We can help you.
You need a credit card to renew online. If that is a problem, reach out to Chris or Johanna and we will work out another way.
Please reach out to Johanna if you have not paid the $65 pack dues yet. Scouts must be current on dues to receive achievements at the November pack meeting and to participate in Rocket Day.
Please let us know if you have any questions about the renewal process.
