Public Cub Scout Dues - Cub Scout Pack 354 (Baltimore, Maryland)

The Scouting Program runs alongside the school year. Each Cub Scout and Leader must register for the coming year in the fall. The annual fee payment to Pack 354 is comprised of three components. Although the dues represent three distinctly different things (and cover different periods of time), we collect them all at the same time – in the fall of each Cub Scout year before October ends.

ATTENTION

As of December 1st 2017, The Boy Scouts of America will be changing it's registration fees from $24 a year to $33 a year.

National Registration Fees - $37

This fee is paid to the Boy Scouts of America Baltimore Area Council and registers the Cub Scout for the period from January through December. The pack does not use any of this money for it's program. Beginning Dec 1st 2017 , the National Dues are $37 ($33 registration fee plus $4 for accident insurance) per Cub Scout per year.

Boys’ Life Magazine – $12

This is the monthly magazine of the Boy Scouts of America. It’s a great magazine that reinforces Scouting and the good family values that are part of our program. Pack 354 strives for a 100% subscription rate for Boy's Life Magazine. Registration for Boys’ Life is optional, but highly encouraged as most scouts that subscribe love getting it in the mail every month. For more information, visit: www.boyslife.org
