What is included?

Dues are necessary so there is enough money to cover the expected costs of providing Scout programs throughout the year. All the adult leaders are volunteers. Our pack also does not do any BSA fundraising (popcorn sales) which some packs use to reduce the pack dues.

Sometimes, programs or outings may have additional costs. We will notify you for those specific events. Dues are subject to change each Scouting year.

Specifically, the dues cover the following:

  • Charter Registration and Insurance (through the Boy Scouts of America)
  • Adult registration fees
  • Cost of supplies for pack and den events
  • All the pins and badges your Scout earns throughout the year
  • Neckerchief & neckerchief slides (on Moving Up Graduation)

Dues do not cover:

  • Individual camping gear
  • Uniforms
  • Certain special event costs (eg. charter fishing in June or museum tickets)
