Costs

The 2024-25 registration fee set by Scoutingis approximately $110. The fees cover:

• National Boy Scouts of America (BSA) youth registration

In addition, the 2024-25 pack fee is $39. The pack fee is paid directly to Pack 99 and covers:

• rank badges

• adventure belt loops

• awards and trophies

• religious emblems

• Pinewood Derby

• supplies for den and pack activities

• Celebrations and events (Blue and Gold Banquet, end-of-school pool party, etc.)

Scouts participate in an annual popcorn fundraiser to help pay for extra activities (e.g., pinewood derby, blue and gold banquet, pool parties, etc.) Pack 99 is financially independent and depends solely on registration fees and fundraising for its support.

How We Communicate

Our official method of communication with parents is via email through the members-only system, Scoutbook.com. The Scoutbook system maintains the pack and den rosters, address book, announcements, and calendar. It is also the source of record for logging a Scout's achievements and activities.

We also have a closed Facebook group to share photos and announcements with current Pack 99 families.

During the summer months June-August, activities are offered at least twice a month.
