Membership Dues are $65 ($6.50 x 10 months), and are to be paid at one time.  Dues help to cover our basic expenses for the year.  These expenses include rank advancement awards, arrow points, beads, badges, belt loops and other awards. The dues also help to cover the cost of materials used for crafts in the Den Meetings, as well as special events such as the Pinewood Derby, the Raingutter Regatta, and the Blue & Gold Banquet / Crossover and Graduation.

Recharter in February: Our organization Recharters (renews membership with BSA) in February, and we collect recharter monies in January and early February. This money is your son’s membership renewal for the upcoming year (February through January) and the fee is currently $25.00 per boy. If you wish to subscribe or renew your subscription to Boys’ Life Magazine for another year ($12), the membership renewal fee will be $37.

The current renewal fee of $25 plus membership dues of $65 for the next Scout year equals a total of $90 per Scout year ($102 w/Boys Life Magazine).  Payments plans will be arranged on a case by case basis.

In order to make our program accessible to as many families as possible, we have tried to keep the dues to a minimum.  However, if hardship exists, please see the Cubmaster, Assistant Cubmaster or Committee Chair.   We will work with you to ensure that your Scout is able to participate in our program.
