Join Cub Scouts
Pack 109 welcomes you to Cub Scouts
What is Cub Scouts?
The Cub Scouting program is a family-oriented program designed for children between the ages of 5 and 10 in Kindergarten through the 5th grade.
Leadership, community, family, character development, and fitness are all key components of the program.
Most importantly, it’s fun, educational, and incredibly engaging for the kids. They’re not just learning valuable life skills, they actually WANT to learn more.
Info about Fees
The total annual fees for a scout in Pack 109 in the 2026-2027 school year range from $45 – $180 for new members (depending on participation in fundraising), which comes out to between ~$4 and $15/month.
Fees consist of two parts: national dues & insurance ($45) fees, which go to the national Scouting America organization and Crossroads of America (our local council), as well as dues for our pack specifically ($135), to support the purchases necessary for a Scout’s experience throughout the year.
Note that the pack dues portion can be significantly reduced or eliminated if your scout participates in our fundraising activities and earns funds for the pack.
The annual fees cover participation from August through July of the following year.
