Cub Scout Pack Annual Fees
As a Cub Scout pack, we are committed to providing our scouts with a fun and educational experience while also supporting their personal growth and development. To help us achieve this goal, our pack has established an annual fee structure that covers the costs associated with participating in the program.
Total Annual Fee: $410 per year
For families with one child registered as a Cub Scout, the annual fee is $410. This fee includes:
- $85 to the BSA National organization
- $75 to our local council
- $250 to the pack
Additional Children’s Fee: $360 per year
For families with more than one child who is registered as a Cub Scout, the annual fee is $360 per year. The same breakdown of fees applies, but the total amount paid by the family will be reduced.
What Does Our Pack Fee Cover?
The pack fees help cover a range of expenses that make our program possible and enjoyable for all our scouts. These costs include:
- Each scout’s loops/pins
- Pinewood Derby kit
- Rain Gutter Regatta kit
- Monthly pack activities
- Subsidizing monthly pack and den activities
- Adult volunteer registration fees
Special Events and Ceremonies
For our Arrow of Light scouts, the pack fee also includes the cost of the moving up ceremony, including one parent’s admission. For all other scouts, the pack fee covers the cost of an end-of-year ceremony, which includes a new hat and scarf to mark their progress.
- Moving up ceremony (for Arrow of Light)
- End-of-year ceremony (all other scouts)
“Run the Pack” Expenses
Our pack also covers various “Run the Pack” expenses, including trailer upkeep, fundraiser equipment, and other miscellaneous costs that support our program.
We believe that these fees are a small price to pay for the many benefits that Cub Scouting provides to our children. If you have any questions or concerns about the annual fee structure, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’re always happy to discuss how we can make our program more accessible and enjoyable for all families.
