Annual Membership Dues
A clear breakdown of the $225 annual fee.
To provide a traditional, high-quality scouting experience, we collect annual dues. This single fee is broken into two parts: a portion that goes to the National and District councils to support scouting nationwide, and a portion that stays right here with Pack 179 to fund our local activities and materials. This chart shows exactly how it's divided.
Your $107 Pack Dues Provide:
Scout Handbook: The official guide for your scout's rank.
Uniform Pieces: Includes the neckerchief and slide.
All Awards: Every badge and belt loop your scout earns.
Activity Supplies: Materials for den meetings and pack events.
Webelos Gear: A pin holder for older scouts.
Scouting is for Everyone
We are absolutely committed to ensuring that cost is never a barrier to a child's participation. If dues present a financial challenge, please reach out to us confidentially. Our district offers scholarship opportunities, and our pack is here to help.
Get Involved!
Scouting isn't a "watch from the sidelines" activity! There are many ways you can support your child in Scouting. It’s a team effort!

New Scouts can join at any grade level — no prior experience needed!
