Costs & Fees
The registration process consists of 2 steps - signing up with BSA and then joining Pack 143. The annual registration fee includes national BSA membership, insurance, and local Pack dues. For most families, the total sign-up cost is around $218 per Scout per year, which helps cover badges, awards, event supplies, and more. We also offer optional fundraising opportunities to help offset costs.
