WHICH DEN AM I IN?

The Cub Scouting program is for boys and girls in Kindergarten through 5th grades. Dens are assigned by grade level: 


Cub Scouts crossover to Scouts in the middle of 5th grade.  They move on from Pack 75 and go a Troop of their choice. Long Beach Area Council has a large number of Troops to select from. Scouts should visit these Troops in 4th and 5th grade so they can determine where they'd like to crossover too.


WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DEN, A PACK, AND A TROOP? 


WHAT COUNCIL ARE WE IN?

We are in the Long Beach Council. The Council is a group of Scouts BSA employees responsible for the Packs, Troops, Crews and Ships in the area.  Long Beach Council is responsible for about 3,000 Scouts in Long Beach, Lakewood, Signal Hill, Avalon and Bellflower.


The Council holds Roundtable Meetings once a month where they discuss upcoming events.  All Cub Scout Parents are invited to attend.


WHAT DISTRICT ARE WE IN?

Scouts in a Council are further divided into Districts.  Our Pack is in the Iron Star District.


ARE WE CHARTERED THROUGH THE CHURCH?

No. Bethany Lutheran School opens their gym and classrooms to several organizations.  Pack 75 graciously uses these facilities to host our Pack and Den Meetings. Pack 75 is currently chartered through Anaheim Chiropractic Services.


WHO CAN JOIN?

Cub Scouts is for boys and girls in K-5th grade. Members do NOT need to be from a specific school, church, organization, or city. Since our Cub Scouts often play other sports such as soccer and baseball, our Friday night meetings make it attractive to active Scouts.


Pack 75 typically has large numbers of kids from Bethany Lutheran School, Mark Twain Elementary and other nearby school and homeschool groups. Scouts have joined our group from many areas of both Long Beach, Lakewood, Signal Hill, Los Alamitos, Los Altos and Bellflower. 


If you can't join our group, contact us anyway and we can put you in touch with other Cub Scout Packs in the area!


HOW MUCH ARE FEES?

Annual Fees are significantly more affordable than many youth activities.  Scouts also actively fundraise to help keep costs so low. 


Finances should NEVER keep youth from enjoying Scouts. Discreet payment plans, scholarships, uniform closet check out and other options are available. 


2023-2024 Fees

$260 + $160 in fundraising (buyout optional)

$50 + $80 in fundraising (buyout optional)

Fifth graders will pay the $160 National and Council Fees to their new Troop.

Above + one time $25 National BSA new Scout fee + any remaining 2023 monthly Pack fees ($21.67/month)


The fees breakdown as follows: 


WHEN ARE FEES DUE?

Fees are due in Sept/October each year.

Class B shirts are handed out to registered Scouts every year.  Additional Youth Shirts and Adult Shirts are available at cost. 


HOW OFTEN DOES PACK 75 GO CAMPING?

Pack 75 typically goes camping 2-3 times per year.  Cub-Boo-Ree in October and Family Camp at Tahquitz in May are two popular camping events for the entire family. 


Webelos and AOL Dens may do additional camping/hiking activities throughout the year.


In addition, Pack 75 organizes an annual non-camping overnight trip to a destination that normally includes educational and historical elements. Past overnights include the USS Iowa, the Dinosaur Exhibit at Natural History Museum, the USS Midway, the Star of India in San Diego, and a Roar & Snore at the Santa Barbara Zoo.

Webelos II/AOL Cub Scouts are encouraged to meet with Scout BSA Troops during the year so that they can pick a Troop that they would like to advance on to. See your Den Leader for more information.
