Joining Cub Scout Pack 1313 & FAQs
Schedule
We meet as a pack monthly on the 3rd 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 - $80/year + one time $25 registration fee.
Capital Area Council dues - $80/year (brand new scouts are exempt from this for the 1st year)
Pack dues - $70/year
Totals: 1st year scouts - $175 Returning scouts - $230
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.
