Join
Boys may join Cub Scouts when they are in the 1st though 5th grade. We’re always looking for new boys to join our Pack. We recruit heavily in the fall to coincide with the beginning of the school year but boys may join throughout the year.
There are many Cub Scout Packs in the local area and each one has a different set of activities and traditions. We encourage you to explore your options but hope you’ll like what you see at Pack 163.
Cost
Cub Scout memberships are renewed yearly. Dues for Boys Scouts of America include the cost of a year’s subscription to Boys Life magazine. Dues for Pack 163 include a T-shirt, plus book, scarf, and slide.

Membership forms for Cub Scouting are available at Pack meetings or from a Den Leader or our Committee Chair. Contact us if you’re interested in receiving a membership form.
New Adult Leaders must complete Youth Protection Training before to submitting their applications. Learn more about Youth Protection on our Leader Resources page.
Uniforms
When your son joins the Pack he will be provided with a Cub Scout manual, neckerchief and slide. You should purchase a uniform shirt, belt, and hat (optional). These are the best places for uniforms and other Cub Scout supplies.
