What do you need to do to join Cub Scouting? You need to do a few things:

First, fill out a Youth Application (also available as a Youth Application En Español). Note that this is normally a carbon-copy form, if you fill out this PDF version, you will have to enter the same information on each of the several pages. Carbon-copy forms are available at Pack functions.

Fill out parts A and C of the standardized 2009 Medical Form (replaces all forms prior to January 1, 2009). Part B requires a doctor's visit, and is required for overnight events such as Summer Camp programs. Note that if your son has had a doctor's visit recently, you don't need to go again. Most doctor's offices will let you drop off the form so they can fill it out from their records, and you can pick it up in a day or two.

Fill out a Media Release form.

Write a check for the Cub Scout registration fee, payable to "Pack 3371". Fees are $15/year, plus $1.00 for insurance. Registratoin is pro-rated, so the amount you need to pay is $1.25/month, plus one dollar.

EXAMPLE: If you sign up in March, you pay registration for March-December. That's 10 months plus a dollar, so:
$1.25 x 10 + $1.00 = $13.50

Bring all of these to a Pack or Den function (see our Events Calendar), and give them to the leader in charge. Most registration is done at our Round-Up meetings in August, at the start of the school year, but boys are welcome to join at any time.
