Registration & Fees
If you’re ready to register, it can be completed 100% online! It’s a multi-step process which can take anywhere from 3 to 15 minutes.
Registration
New Youth to Scouting or transferring from another Pack (use your BSA ID from your old Pack) register on Scouting.org. Parents/Guardians that want to become Adult Leaders should register here as well. Pack 83 will reimburse you for the Adult Leader fee scouting.org charges. As a parent/guardian that volunteers for specific tasks, there’s no need to register.
Returning Scouts no need to register at Scouting.org or Pack83. We are skipping the annual Pack 83 registration and moving to Scoutbook which you should already be in. See fee details below and how to pay.

Total combined Scouting.org & Pack83 fees = $250/youth. Adult Leaders = $0.
- Returning Scouts: we (Pack 83) collect:

Fees are collected by them during registration.
- Scouting.org fee = youth $185; parent leaders $120*** and you’ll be charged during registration.
- ***Pack 83 believes parent volunteer leaders should NOT have to pay to volunteer, so we reimburse you the $120 adult fee if you become a leader. Contact Brett, Nathan or Rhut.

Pack 83 fee covers the 2023/24 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.
Additional costs for everyone include:
- Uniforms = +$100 (shirt, hat, neckerchief, pack & council patches, book) Before purchasing consult your Den leader for their specific suggestions since we have a clothing & goods exchange to help the environment and save money.
- Scout’s Life Magazine (optional) = $15
- Events & Trips (optional) = costs based on activity
