Registration & Fees
If you’re ready to register, it can be completed 100% online within 10 minutes. There are two fees: Scouting.org and Pack 83. Total combined Scouting.org & Pack83 fees are approximately $250/youth. Adult Leaders = $0 (after we reimburse you since parent volunteer leaders should not have to pay).
Scouting.org Registration
Cub Scouting membership is an annual fee based on the date of your registration. Scouting.org will send out a reminder prior to your 12 month expiration date. Register for Pack 83 on Scouting.org
New Scouts, your membership begins, and renews 12 months later, on the date of your Scouting.org registration. Any time is a fine time to register but good months include June thru September and March. Our program is active only during the school year, and in March 5th graders advance from Cub Scouts to Scouts.
Transfering Scouts PLEASE use your BSA ID from your old Pack during registration.
Returning Scouts, Scouting.org will contact you via email when your annual membership comes due. Pack 83 is no longer collecting Scouting.org fees. You should expect a reminder email from them sometime in December or January.
Parents/Guardians that want to become Adult Leaders should register on register on Scouting.org as well. Pack 83 will reimburse you for the Adult Leader fee Scouting.org charges. If you just want to volunteer for specific tasks, there’s no need to register as an Adult Leader.
Pack 83 Registration
All Pack 83 payments, currently $65/youth, PayPal to Rhut our Cub Master. PLEASE note your Scouts Name(s).
What the fees cover
Scouting.org fee covers 12 months of youth and/or adult leader membership from your date of registration. Membership benefits include; access to scouting facilities, training, insurance, fair share and more. This 12 month rolling membership is new as of August, 2023.
Pack 83 fee covers the school year for youth. This is a smaller fee for pack meetings, awards, patches, certificates, adult leader fees & training, food for events, etc…
In order to keep Pack 83 registration fees as low as possible, some activities are either not included in these fees or are only subsidized by these fees. There will be no further fundraising. Scholarships are available as needed. Please contact the Registrar (Brett Gentry, pack83@oneboxfish.com) for more information.
