Frequently Asked Questions
What grade levels are in Cub Scouts?
Cub Scouts is open to youth in kindergarten through 5th grade. Each grade level has its own rank and program designed to be age-appropriate and engaging.
How much does it cost to join?
The annual registration fee covers membership, insurance, and pack activities. Costs may vary slightly each year. Financial assistance is available for families who need it -- no child is turned away due to inability to pay.
Do parents need to attend meetings?
Yes, Cub Scouting is a family program. At least one parent or guardian should attend den and pack meetings with their scout. Parent involvement is a key part of what makes Cub Scouts special.
What if my child joins mid-year?
Welcome to join any time! New scouts are always welcome regardless of when they sign up. We will help your child catch up on activities and get integrated into their den right away.
