Getting Started

Complete online Cub Scout application and pay national/council registration fees online.

• National/Council dues cover our insurance, the Cub Scout programming material, Council and National support to the pack, etc. 

• Pack dues are paid separately to cover our operating expenses that the Pack entails throughout the year (awards, t shirts, pack meetings, den meeting supplies).

Carefully review this booklet so you know what Cub Scouting is all about and your Scout can get the most out of it. 

Purchase a Cub Scout Handbook now so your Scout can be ready to start working towards their rank requirements.

Read with your Cub Scout the “How to Protect Your Children from Child Abuse Guide” pamphlet found in the front of the book.

Check out the calendar to find out what kind of activities your Cub Scout Pack is doing in the next few months and put them on your calendar so you can participate. https://www.pack15wvl.com/events

Scouting is more fun with friends!

• Any child in grades K-5 can be a Cub Scout at any time, not just during our recruiting period.

• Talk with other parents and Scouts and have them join your Scout’s Cub Scout Pack now to make Cub Scouting even more fun.

• Your Scout will be recognized as a “recruiter” by the Pack & earn a special patch if they recruit a friend to join. 

Consider being a Cub Scout leader or Pack Committee member for your Scout’s Cub Scout den.

• Your Scout’s experience in Cub Scouting depends on your involvement. 

• Details are on the previous pages. 

Purchase a Cub Scout uniform for your Scout to wear.

• Be sure to get a size large enough to last several years as your Scout grows.

• This is recommended, but not mandatory! 

Visit the Scout Shop in downtown Asheville to stock up on scout gear and to get your uniform!
