At this point you will pay the yearly Scouting America membership fee. You can join Scouting at any point in the year and will renew membership at the same time each year.
You will also pay the Pack dues directly to our Treasurer. Pack dues are currently $55 per year. Your dues go to the Pack and stay local. The Pack Zelle may be searched in your banking app with the pack email, "cubmaster.pack1040@gmail.com". If you don't use Zelle our treasurer will have other options.
After applying to Scouts you are in the system and officially a member of scouting! Continue to go to events, learn more about scouting and advance in rank.
With your application in the system the cubmaster has a few actions to take including inviting you to ScoutBook, assigning the new cub scout to a den and sending an introductory email. You do not need to wait for these actions to participate in Pack or Den level events. Rank advancement and achievement can be entered into Scoutbook at any point. After applying a heads up email to the cubmaster is a great way to keep the momentum going.
