How Do I Join The Cub Scouts?
Thank you for your interest in joining our Pack! Boys who are interested in the Boy Scouting program and are thinking about joining our Pack, are welcome to attend one of our Pack meetings, usually at All Saints Church. Since we offer a year round program, boys can sign up at anytime of the year. Our Pack meets on the 3rd Thursday of every month during the school year. Boys will have a chance to meet our Scouts, participate in some fun activities and see how our program works. We can answer any questions you may have regarding the program, uniforms, the Cub Scout Handbooks and the application process.
To join the Pack, visit the BSA website and register: http://bit.ly/Pack178
The annual fees are $110/year prorated from January 31st (from a recent query it was $68). An initial one-time processing fee of $25 will be assessed for new members. Collectively, these fees fund the national and council-level administrative and liability insurance expenses needed to maintain a top quality program.
For 2024, the registration renewal will include an additional unit-level fee. This along with various seasonal youth fundraising events are used to fund the Pack 178 program including activities, recognition programs, and other BSA fees. These fees will be collected sometime in October 2023.
Once you have applied on the BSA Website, we will be notified via email to accept your application. At this point your registration will finish processing and you will be added to our unit roster maintain in Scoutbook which is the BSA’s unit-level platform for communications, scheduling, advancement and activity tracking.
If you have any questions, please contact us.
