We ask that all scouts who sign up have an active parent or guardian also participate with them in Cub Scouts. Scouts will have more fun with an active adult participate than without. Whether that is being a registered leader, an active parent, help plan an event or simply help keep the scouts safe. It takes a village for a successful pack to operate. Everyone involved in Pack 650 is an unpaid volunteer scouter.
Lions (K) and Tigers (1st grade) are required to have an "adult partner" with them at all times per national's Guide to Safe Scouting Barriers To Abuse.Â
Wolves (2nd grade) thru Arrow of Light (5th grade) parents are encouraged to join their dens in activities and are required to stay on property per the Cubmaster.
Every registered leader has had a background check, approved by the Charter Organization Representative, and completed the annual S.A.F.E. Guarding Youth Training (SYT).

Youth Members:
Our youth Pack 650 annual cost is $165 a year for a scout. These are the funds that allow us to operate for the entire year and present a fun program for the Pack. These annual cost includes:
12 month membership in Pack 650
National Scouting America registration $90 ($85 National registration, $5 member insurance)
Access Scoutbook software so you can track your scout's achievements, calendar events, and payments in the red Mobile Scouting app
Pack Dues $75 for supplies, patches, experiments, Pinewood Derby car, one Pack 650 activity shirt, adventures, and access to the Scout Closet for reused uniform items
*If your scout participates in fundraisers this can drive down the overall cost for your scout.
*Scouting is for everyone. If your family experiences financial hardship and wishes to continue participating, please let the Cubmaster know.
*Some cost not included is the cost of attending an event (camping fee, food, etc.), a handbook, and an optional uniform.
Adult Members:
Our adult registered leader application cost is $70. Adults do not owe Pack dues, only youth. Those interested in being an adult registered leader will be required to:
Take the SAFE Guarding Youth Training "SYT" (90 min)
Pass a background check
Pass the Volunteer Screening Database check
Be approved by the Charter Organization Representative before working with any youth members or attending any overnight event
*Cub Scout's parents/guardians are exempt from having to register as a leader to go on overnight scouting events. The Pack does require all adults to login to my.scouting.org and take the SAFE Guarding Youth Training "SYT" (90 min) video for general awareness.
*If an adult registered leader is willing to provide service to the Pack by serving the youth as a leader for 12 months the Pack will cover the cost of that adult registration ($70 value).
*If a non-parent/guardian wants to go on an overnight event with the Pack they will be required to be registered as an adult leader and be in the Pack roster prior to departing for the overnight event.
To sign up as a youth member of the Pack both an Application and Pack Dues must be paid.
