Where your annual dues go

We try to keep our Pack dues reasonable. Our annual dues are not enough to cover the cost of running our program and we rely on fundraising to help fund our scout activities and awards throughout the year.

We collect dues in the Fall (or when a new scout joins) "for the school year." Technically you are paying to register your scout with the BSA for the following calendar year.  We formalize our roster for the next year and "recharter" our Pack with our local BSA council beginning in October. 

Here is a breakdown:

You will need to make a trip to the Scout Shop, or head over to scoutstuff.org to pick up your Class A uniform and handbook. You will need:

The Pack will provide all the patches you need. No need to buy them.
