Scouting America National Membership
The first step in becoming active in Cub Scouts is to become a member in Scouting America. This is an online registration process where council fees will be paid by the individual family and renewed annually on your anniversary date of your membership. See the registration page of our website to complete this step. Your participation is only active once you have registered and paid the Scouting America fee. You can see current fees for national membership when you go to the FAQs section at the bottom of beascout.scouting.org/
Financial aid is available for this fee if needed. Please contact PTAC.helpdesk@scouting.org several weeks in advance if possible before paying the registration fee during the enrollment or reenrollment process.
Pack 151 Unit Fees
The Unit fee is paid before the program starts in August or at the time of your initial registration. The unit fee helps set the budget for the year and cover any expenses for den and pack meetings. This fee also helps cover any costs to our volunteers for their training and certifications. If you are unable to pay this fee please email the committee chair.
Fundraising
We have fundraising opportunities throughout the year which help keep our program costs low. Without participation in our fundraising program parents would have a significant increases in our unit fee. Based on your participation in our fundraising program, you may have an opportunity for your unit fee to be refunded.
Additional Outings
We have additional OPTIONAL activities, camp outs, and events each year. Sometimes these optional events will have an additional fee depending on our unit’s fundraising efforts. Every effort is made to raise enough money during fundraising to cover these extra costs but ultimately that is up to each Scout and their parents to raise the money during fundraisers to fulfill our budget needs. There will never be an extra cost for required activities and events.
