A: Start by reaching out to our Committee Chair: Christine Bealer
We recommend attending a few meetings before making a commitment. If you are interested in attending, we will provide you with the necessary details. There are several places all over this website to reach out.
A: There are fees and costs that come with scouting just like with sports, dance, clubs, etc. Annual registration, a uniform, a handbook and some activities have costs attached. We understand that this can be daunting. There are fundraising opportunities throughout the year to help with these costs as well as uniform donations. We don’t want the cost of scouting to be a complete barrier and can work with families as needed to help. You can read more here: https://www.scouting.org/programs/cub-scouts/cost-of-cub-scouting/
A: Yes. But you don’t have to rush! After you join, see what uniform pieces we have in stock from our donations - you could save a bundle.
The uniform is an important part of the Cub Scouts experience. Scouts are expected to wear their uniform to Pack Meetings and Pack Outings. We are representing the Pack and should look the part! There are 2 types: Class A is the full dress uniform with hat/belt/kerchief and is reserved for Pack Meetings and Community Events. Class B is a pack t-shirt that is gifted to the scout when they join. This is worn during weekly den meetings and on hikes, camping, neighborhood clean ups etc.
