Recharter dues for returning scouts for 2023 are:
$150
Leaders are $57
Due to the tremendous success of our fundraising year we are including with EACH Scout's recharter, an annual subscription to Scouts' Life magazine!
FEE EXPLANATION
1) National Dues - This fee is paid by us directly to the Boy Scouts of America and reregisters your Cub Scout for the period January through December. Youth fees are $75, paid annually, prorated monthly ($6.25 per month) from month of joining.
2) Longhorn Council Fee - This prorated annual $12 fee is paid by us directly to the Longhorn Council for the period of January through December. $1 per month based on the month of joining, due in full each January.
3) Scout Life Magazine - $15 per Scout, prorated monthly ($1.25 per month). Scout Life is the monthly magazine for the Boy Scouts of America. It’s a fantastic read that reinforces Scouting and the good family values that are part of our program. This is now INCLUDED with your membership as a bonus for an amazing fundraising year.
4) Pack Fees - $63 (about $5 per month) The Pack charges an annual Pack Fee to help cover the cost of running the Pack. This fee includes all program costs and is set each year by the Pack Committee. At the very basic level, this covers your scout's rank specific neckerchief slide and neckerchief at bridging each May so that they may start their new journey off prepared as well as all advancement, awards, badges, patches, pins, adventure loops, hiking awards, ceremony supplies, and the like.
As you can see, there is great deal of tangible goods that each scout receives annually just for doing what they do! This doesn't even begin to cover the other costs... just what our Scouts receive.
Thus, we rely heavily on fundraising to ensure an awesome program for our youth. Simply stated, our Pack is POWERED BY POPCORN!
Which is why I am so excited to tell you that all current Cub Scouts who sold ANY popcorn and are rechartering for 2023 Scout calendar year will receive a $50 membership CREDIT on their dues from this year's fundraising success!
(If you've already paid, we will issue you a refund for this amount -- yay!)
That makes dues for youth only $100 for 2023 complete with Scout Life Magazine.
Membership renewal commitments are due no later than the November Pack Meeting.
Our charter with Boy Scouts of America expires December 31 and there is a GREAT DEAL of paper chasing to take place before then.
PLEASE do not make me chase yours for filing.
Say it with me now...
"Ya didn't file your paperwork..."
(By the way... if you don't know who this is... I'm not sure we can be friends.)
Checks should be made payable to Pack 1910 and submitted to our Treasurer, Trish Chell. If you would like to pay via credit card, that can be done through our Payment portal. Please note that the processing fees for this are assessed to you for this type of transaction.
Without registration commitments, we cannot recharter you (as a registered leader) your Scout. Awards and rank cannot be recorded for unregistered Scouts.
While we try to streamline this as much as process, there IS paper involved
- we need a new health form for anyone that hasn't submitted one within the last year.
- If your Youth Protection Training expires in 2023, you MUST take it so that it expires in 2024. You cannot be renewed as a leader with it expiring before the end of 2023 calendar year.
- Additionally, we need completed YPT certificates for all parents with their Scouts if you have not supplied those via e-mail.
- All leaders must be trained for their positions prior to recharter.
Thank you for your assistance in making this as painless and streamlined of a process as possible. I appreciate everyone's prompt attention to this matter. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact April Driggers at pack1910cubscouts@gmail.com
