Effective 8/1/2023:
National BSA has changed how Scouting families are being charged registration fees. Effective 8/1/23, all individual Scouts are registered (most likely online) for 12 months based on their original join date (i.e. September 7 to September 6 or August 29 to August 28). 

Magazine: The Scout Life magazine subscription for the year is $15 and is optional for each calendar year. Families can sign up for the subscription at their initial online registration

Uniforms: Full Class A uniforms range from $43 to $125 depending on rank/den level. Class B shirts come from the Pack. 

Outings: Each Scouting year, you pay for each outing that you attend and not those that you do not attend. Several outings are required for rank advancement but differ based on which rank is being earned. Basic camping and fishing essentials are the responsibility of each Pack family to purchase. Please see the Pack calendar for upcoming events, registration deadlines, and event fees.

Fundraising is an essential part of Pack funding. There are 2 Council fundraising opportunities within the Scouting year. All Scouts are expected to participate in at least 1 per year – Popcorn sales in the fall and Camp Card sales in the spring. Revenue from both sales supports the individual Scout as well as Pack activities such as the holiday party, end-of-year picnic, and an end-of-year trip.
