Cub Scouts is a family-oriented program. Parents or guardians should be prepared to participate in activities and go on these adventures with their child. For younger scouts (kindergarten and first grade), parents are directly involved in their Childs individual achievements and participate with them during meetings.

In order to become a member of Scouting America, you must register your child online. The national registration fee is $150 per scout/per year. Each pack is completely self-funded and nonprofit; this requires us to charge pack “dues” which are used to pay for activities, supplies, awards, excursions, etc. Pack dues are separate from the national registration and are paid directly to Pack 75 twice a year for a total of $100 per scout. There is also an annual fundraising offset in the amount of $60 that is due during our popcorn sales season. (The offset and Pack dues can be waived if individual Popcorn sales goals are met by your scout).
