New Scouts

Program Costs (New Scouts as of 9/1/2024)

BSA National & Council Fees

New Scouts Register Directly with BSA. Registration includes a one time  national registration fee, plus Annual National & Local Council Fees. Scouts will be responsible for their own annual renewal.

Pack 335 Activity Fee

Pack 335 Dues are set at a minimum to cover the Direct Costs of your Cub Scout including their first pack t-shirt, awards and recognitions, derby car, meeting supplies and more.

To pay for the rest of the program expenses and pack overhead, we rely on our Cub Scout Popcorn Sales as our main Fundraiser. If each scout hits their goal of popcorn sold we are fully funded!  If a scout chooses to opt out of popcorn sales we ask that the family, if they are able, make a donation to the Pack to cover their share.

Individual Activity Fees

Many of our activities are free. Major activities such as Camping are charged  for on an event by event basis. Strong Fundraising can help reduce these costs.  

Field Uniforms (Class A)

Field Uniforms (Class A) are the traditional uniform of Cub Scouts. Field Uniforms are worn at pack meetings, flag ceremonies, and other formal events. 

While wearing the uniform is not mandatory, it is highly encouraged.

It's recommend you purchase these at our Local Council Scout Shop where shirts will have some of the patches already sewn on.

M.E. Rinker Scout Shop • 8335 N Military Trl, West Palm Beach, FL 33410

Activity Uniforms (Class B)

Activity Uniforms (Class B) are worn at more casual events and consist of a Pack 335 T-Shirt (included for new scouts) and appropriate shorts, skirts, or pants. Additional T-Shirts may be purchased and are recommend for camping.

Fundraising

We encourage all Scouts to Fundraise. Fundraising, like our annual Popcorn Sale,  helps keep pack dues low by paying for Special Events, like our Pinewood Derby and Blue & Gold Celebration, as well as Overhead Expenses like storage, trailer registration and maintenance, banking fees, etc.

 In addition, if our base Fundraising Goals are beat, we can use those additional funds to lower individual activity fees.
