APPLICATION & DUES - 2025

Each year Pack 673 spends around $7,000 to bring our program to our almost 50 Scouts and their families. This includes all belt loops, pins, badges, den leader supplies, Pinewood Derby cars, Raingutter Regatta Boats (or Space Derby Rockets), camping fees, Winter Day costs, Crossover/Blue & Gold expenses, rank neckerchiefs, special events, and other supplies or event costs that happen at Pack meetings.

NEW MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL SYSTEM

1. Nation/Council: Scouting America (national scouts organization) and Adventure West Council (our regional body) charges $168 annual dues per Scout. This provides access to the national BSA curriculum, camping resources and programs, as well as insurance. Please register or renew at My.Scouting.org. None of these dues are received by the local Pack. (Note: In previous years the Pack renewed returning Scouts. Beginning this year, all returning scouts need to RENEW with Scouting America at My.Scouting.org). 

2. Pack 673: The Pack’s annual dues per Scout are $32. This covers all costs for a scout to participate in our events (except for Winter Day, which is is free for scouts who reach their $750 popcorn sale goal). 

Total combined dues for Nation/Council/Pack: $200. For less than $20/month our Pack provides belt loops, pins, badges, den leader supplies, Pinewood Derby cars, Raingutter Regatta Boats (or Space Derby Rockets), camping fees, Winter Day costs, Crossover/Blue & Gold expenses, rank neckerchiefs, special events, and other supplies or event costs that happen at Pack meetings.

POPCORN SALES

And POPCORN is a HUGE way to support the Pack! This is where the Pack earns most of the money for Pack activities. Scouts who sell $750 of popcorn get to attend Winter Day for FREE. There are also a Popcorn Party and other prizes for your Scout at that Top Seller level.

We look forward to having your scout in Pack 673 on our adventures!
