This covers many costs the pack incurs including supplies, leader fees, some food and facility rental costs.
We also cover the Scout's neckerchief and slide (at the end of the year once they complete rank), a pack t-shirt, one each Raingutter Regatta boat and Pinewood Derby car and ALL rank and Adventure patches and belt loops earned throughout the year.
Additional costs paid by families include the Scout field uniform (required shirt, optional shorts and hat) and events such as camping and some special events. See homepage or here for more on the Scout uniform.
Fundraising (POPCORN!) is always available to help cover many of these costs.
Please send a brief email to the New Member Coordinator letting us know you've joined, or if you have any questions during or after sign-up.
