Additional Costs

Uniforms
Campouts & Family Members

The initial uniform purchase includes the official scout shirt, patches, and belt. As scouts grow and change ranks, small updates such as new neckerchiefs and rank-specific slides are purchased annually.

Scouts are included. Parents and siblings are typically $10 per person for food to cover the weekend's supplies. We encourage families to attend and participate together in our outdoor adventures.

Special Events & Fundraising
Financial Aid

Optional events like museum sleepovers or district outings may have separate fees. Families can offset these costs through pack-led fundraisers like our annual popcorn sales.

Financial help is available and strictly confidential. We want every child to experience the mission of scouting—please reach out to our leadership if cost is a barrier to your family's participation.
