What do these Pack dues cover?
The fees pay for BSA National expenses, Monmouth Council expenses and the Pack's operating expenses.
BSA National fees cover registration of your child and of adults as members of Scouting BSA. It pays the operating expenses of BSA National for developing and running the scouting program.
Monmouth Council fees pay for the operating fees, including insurance, associated with running the local Council, the local program and its/our camps.
Pack dues pay the costs of running the Pack including awards, patches, trophies, refreshments, Raingutter Regatta and Pinewood Derby kits, meeting entertainment, etc. All leaders in the Pack are volunteers and are not paid to do so.
Why do we have uniforms?
Cub Scout uniforms serve a dual purpose, demonstrating that a Scout is part of a team and showing individual achievement (Scouts wear the badges they’ve earned). The uniforms create a sense of belonging and wearing the uniform to meetings and activities also encourages a neat appearance and good behavior.
What is the official Cub Scout uniform and where can I buy it?
See the images below for the official cub scout uniform and a more detailed guide here.
The Monmouth Council Scout Shop (705 Ginesi Drive off Route 520, Morganville NJ 07751) caters to our scouting needs.
Pack 131 Scouts will receive one Pack t-shirt to wear at activities at which the formal Scout uniform is not required.
