How do I renew my Scout’s membership?

Updated for 2022.

Once a year, we ask our families to renew their Scout’s membership to Pack 457.  This helps us to ensure we are:

  • Collecting annual dues from our members.
  • Gathering our Member’s required Health and Medical forms.
  • Only paying national dues for youth who continuing with the program.
  • Only communicating with families who wish to continue in the program.

Renewing your Scout’s membership can be completed in four easy steps:

1

CONFIRM INVOLVEMENT

2

PAY
DUES

3

COMPLETE HEALTH FORM

4

COMPLETE SURVEY

(You will need your Scout’s BSA ID Number to complete the renewal process.  This information is available in Scoutbook by logging in, navigating to your Dashboard, clicking on your Scout’s Name, selecting Edit Profile under the awards section, and looking for the BSA Member # field.)

STEP 1: Confirm Involvemet

Tell us whether your Scout is continuing in the program this year.  You can complete this step by clicking on the appropriate link in the email message you received during the renewal process.  If you deleted the email, please contact the Cubmaster to communicate your Scout’s intentions.

STEP 2: Pay Dues

Annual dues cover your Scout’s registration fees with the Boy Scouts of America and our council as well as costs for running our Pack for the upcoming calendar year.  Please note the following changes to our dues:

  • This year’s dues have increased to $85 per Scout per year due to increases in national fees and reduced fundraising opportunities in 2020/21.
  • Dues can be paid via cash, check, or credit card but you must make the purchase on the Pack’s online store for record keeping purposes.
  • During the checkout process:
    • You will be asked for your Scout’s BSA ID number shown above.
    • New members can select a shirt size for their complementary Class B uniform shirt.
    • Families may choose to make a donation to the Pack by paying more than the $85 dues.  (We are working to get tax receipts for donations to the Pack.)

STEP 3: Complete Health Form

We work hard to keep our Scouts and other program participants safe during our events, but sometimes injuries happen.  Scouts are required to complete an Annual Health & Medical Form every year so that our Leaders have the information and authorization they need to address any health issues that may arise.

For additional instructions on how to complete and submit your BSA Health Form can be found see the How do I complete the BSA Health Form? FAQ.

Submitting Health Forms:

Completed and signed Health Forms can be emailed to the Cubmaster or a physical copy can be handed to any Pack Leader at an upcoming meeting.

STEP 4: Complete Survey

The fourth and final step is to complete a family talent survey.  This survey helps us to understand the talents your family brings to our Pack and where you may be interested in helping us as we work to bring our Scouts the best program. By completing this form, you are NOT committing yourself to presenting or volunteering, rather you are helping us to understand your willingness to support our Scouts.

You will receive a confirmation email once all these steps have been successfully completed.
