What Does It Cost To Join?
|
The membership fee for Cub Scouts is roughly $35 per year. This would cover membership fee to the Boy Scouts of America and the pack dues to help cover the cost of den activities, snacks and segments. To keep costs down, Cub Scouts participate in a popcorn sale fundraising event in September. Out of these funds, the pack pays for:
|
♦
|
registration fees and insurance for Scouts and adult leaders |
|
♦
|
Quality Unit patches |
|
♦
|
advancement patches, pins and other awards for Scouts |
|
♦
|
adult volunteer recognition awards |
|

Join Cub Scouts, and your son will be joining a world of fun and adventure. He will make new friends, go to new places, and learn new games and skills. Scouting will help him to enjoy the world, and get more out of life. You can contact our Cubmaster for more info or contact the Central Florida Council at (407) 889-4403.

Other family members are welcome. |

A pack is a group of Cub Scouts, adult leaders and parents who belong to the same Cub Scout unit (ie., Pack 279 of the Wekiwa District, Central Florida Council). A pack generally draws its membership primarily from an elementary school or church that is associated with the pack's Chartered Organization. Each pack is made up of Tiger Cub, Wolf, Bear and Webelos dens.
|
| What is a Chartered Organization? |
|
A Chartered Organization is the sponsoring organization for a Cub Scout pack, usually a church, PTA, homeowners' association or other community group. The primary responsibilities of the Chartered Organization are to select the leadership of the pack and provide a meeting place. Each year, the pack must renew its Charter with its local council. The Chartered Organization must approve the rechartering application in order for the Charter to be renewed.
