Costs

Cub Scouting offers a world of adventure, and the best part is that the costs of these activities can be partially or even completely offset through our various fundraisers, including our big popcorn fundraiser. By participating in these fundraisers, families can raise the funds needed to cover everything from dues, uniforms, and campouts to Pinewood Derby cars and even special events. With a little effort and teamwork, our Scouts can enjoy a year full of fun and learning without the financial burden. Let’s work together to make every adventure possible!
