PACK 320'S FAQ'S

Q: My son is joining Cub Scouts. How much does it cost?
A:
BSA Registration is $15.00 per year, starting in December. If you join part-way through the year, the amount is pro-rated.

Q: I was asked about a subscription to Boy's Life Magazine. What (and how much) is that?
A: Boy's Life is a magazine which almost every Cub Scout in the nation eagerly anticipates each month. See the cubmaster or committee chair for details.

Q: Does the Pack collect dues?
A:
Yes, Pack 320 collects dues. The amount is set by the Parents' Committee each year. If the scout participates in Pack fund-raisers, he can help pay (or completely pay off) these dues himself. IYS Dues are currently $85 but not collected until after popcorn sales in November. If you join in the middle of the year the amount can be pro-rated.

 

Q: Do the individual Dens collect dues?
A:
Many dens collect a small amount at each den meeting, to help cover the cost of craft materials. Each den will implement its own policy.

Q: What about hats, shorts, socks, stocking caps, brag vests and and and...
A
: These are all optional. Pack 320 considers the official boys' uniform to be from the waist up.

Q: Where do I get this stuff?
A: Brandt's (on the square in Liberty) carries Cub Scout items. In addition, the Scout Shop for the Heart of America Council is located at I-435 and Holmes Rd.

Q: I agreed to be a Den Leader/Assistant Den Leader. Do I need stuff too?
A:
Yes. You will need a few items as well: (note: No uniform necessary for Tiger Cub Leaders, but it helps)
1. Cub Scout Leader Book
2. Same Handbook as your scouts (Optional- you might want to use your son's)
2. Khaki Boy Scout Shirt (Yellow Cub Scout blouse is acceptable for women)
3. Blue Epulets (loops worn above the shoulders on the khaki shirt)
4. Patches for shirt (Numbers 320, Heart of America Council, World Crest, (Assistant) Den Leader)
(note: the American Flag patch is usually on the shirt already)
5. Make sure you get agreements from other parents in your den to help, right away.
The "I'll do it if you will all help" strategy usually works well.
