Pack Registration

Who can join?

Any child in kindergarten through 5th grade — boys and girls — can join Pack 73, at any point in the year. You don't need any camping or outdoor experience, and neither does your child.

What it costs:

$225 for the year — $135 to Scouting America (national and council registration, which covers insurance, background checks, and leader training) plus $90 in pack dues (Pinewood Derby kits, badges, pack t-shirt, and event subsidies). A uniform and handbook run about another $60–80, one time. Some events throughout the year may have one-time fees.

Cost should never be the reason a kid can't join — email us and we'll work it out.

Registering with Pack 73 is an easy 3-step process.

What is the annual Scouting America membership fee used for?

The annual Scouting America membership fee is split between the national Scouting America organization and our local council and district. These fees fund things like:

• National program organization

• Training courses

• Insurance

• Scout Campgrounds & Reservations

Patriots' Path Council also provides a breakdown of their fees.

What are pack dues used for?

Some examples of how the Pack money is utilized:

• Pinewood Derby kits, trophies, and upgrades to the track

• Pack t-shirt, rank awards, etc.

• Subsidizing pack events & prizes (i.e. fishing, campfire, camping)

• Maintenance and repair of pack materials (i.e. camping equipment)
