Registration is currently available for Tigers (1st Grade)-Arrow of Light (5th Grade) boys and girls, we are a family Pack.
Registration for Lions (Kindergarten) opens August.
Joining Pack 1040 only takes a few steps:
Join us at a summer event like our August pool party, September pack meeting or other pack event and see what cub scouting is all about.
If you are ready to join Click HERE and you will be directed to the scouting website pre-filtered for Pack 1040, this page should have "Pack 1040" at the top header. If Pack 1040 is not in the header you should be prompted to pick a pack during the process.
Choose youth to apply for your scout and Click "Start". Adult volunteers will register via the same process using, "Adult".
Fill in the online forms and requested information.
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.
