• FAQ: "Does my Cub Scout have to attend every meeting?" Answer: No - your Cub Scout is always welcome but we realize that kids and families are busy and may not be able to attend every meeting. No worries.  FAQ: Can my Cub Scout join mid-year? Yes! We'll teach them what they need to know to participate fully and have a great time.

Relationship between Cub Scout Pack 33 and Scout Troop 33: Cub Scout Pack 33 is supported by Scout Troop 33. Scout Troop 33 is chartered by Westminster Presbyterian Church and has been active since 1918, producing hundreds of Eagle Scouts and having a positive impact on the community. 

Camp Ajawah: Pack 33, Troop 33, and another troop chartered by Westminster Presbyterian Church (Troop 100) are fortunate to have access to Camp Ajawah, a beautiful lakeside camp 45 minutes north of downtown Minneapolis. Learn more at www.ajawah.org

Participation fees: Northern Star Scouting is the Scout Council that serves youth in Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. Northern Star Scouting is part of Scouting America (formerly known as Boy Scouts of America). Northern Star Scouting charges $205 per Cub Scout per year.  Every kid deserves to participate in Cub Scouts; we will not let money be a barrier.  If the price is a barrier to participation, let us know via cubscoutpack33@yahoo.com and we will work out an approach that works for you. Beyond that fee payable to the Scout Council, there is no separate or additional fee payable to Cub Scout Pack 33. To raise funds to pay for activities and supplies, Cub Scout Pack 33 conducts one fundraiser each year: a wreath sale in the fall. 

Uniforms and other gear:  

• If you already have a uniform, great. If not, there is no pressure to rush and get a uniform. All in good time. There are all kinds of things you can buy if you'd like, such as hats and belts and pants but the only thing necessary for the basic uniform is the uniform shirt with the numbers "33" on it, plus logo patches for Northern Star Scouting Council and Scouting America. As your Cub Scout achieves ranks, s/he will put the patch corresponding to that rank onto his/her uniform.  

• When you choose to buy a uniform, a great option is the Base Camp Scout Shop at the Scouts' beautiful Base Camp facility near the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport. The uniform you buy there will already have the logo of the Northern Star Scouting Council and Scouting America on it, and they can sew on the "33" right there while you wait. 

• If you'd rather buy online, here's a link to the Cub Scout Short Sleeve Uniform Shirt. This approach adds a bit of complexity because you'd need to obtain the patches separately and then iron/sew them on. 

• If the cost of the uniform is an obstacle, let us know at cubscoutpack33@yahoo.com and the pack can subsidize. We will not ever let cost get in the way of a kid partcipating in Scouts. 

• As part of your registration, the Cub Scout Pack will provide (i) an advancement book and (ii) a neckerchief, both corresponding to your child's level. So, you don't need to buy those.
