Joining Cub Scout Pack 1313 & FAQs
Schedule
We meet as a pack monthly on the 4th Tuesday, 6:30-7:30 pm.
Dens meet monthly on days chosen by the den leader and parents.
We hold weekend events such as camping trips, hikes and pack ceremonies a few times over the course of the year.
Dues & Fundraising
National BSA dues - $85/year
Capital Area Council dues - $80/year
Pack dues - $70/year
Totals: $235
Scouts receive their neckerchief, slide, Class B T-shirt, 1313 patch, Pinewood Derby car, Raingutter Regatta boat and all awards through these dues. We also sell winter greens as a means to raise additional money for the pack and keep dues as low as possible. We do not participate in the BSA Popcorn Fundraiser.
* Our pack believes that cost should not deter a family from participating in scouting. We offer payment plans and can seek out scholarships if needed. Please contact our membership chair for further details.
Steps to Join
Attend our Join Scouting Night event on September 3, 6:30 - 7:30 pm at the Sunrise Valley Elementary School cafeteria for a fun and informational opportunity to meet members of our pack, get questions answered and register. Email our membership chair if you can't make it to that event.
When you have decided you're ready to join, submit an application through our BSA membership link. You will pay the $85 annual BSA dues and $80 Council fee through this application. We encourage you to add the monthly magazine 'Scout Life' for $15 because scouts love reading it when it arrives each month.
Fill out our pack Membership Information Form. We will add you to our email distribution list.
Pay remaining annual dues ($70) to the treasurer at our Join Scouting Night event or the next pack meeting. See this document for details on how to pay pack dues electronically.
Review the purpose and details of Cub Scouting. and review our Pack Parent Handbook for information specific to our pack.
Purchase a "Class A" uniform shirt and patches at the local Scout Shop or online. Your scout will receive a "Class B" pack Tshirt at the next pack meeting.
