If your ready to Join Pack 108 Follow these steps.
1.) Start here by filling out: Applicant Type – My Scouting
2.) Turn in registration fee, payable to Pack 108 via a check or the Pay Pal Portal. Due to new regulations issued by BSA for 2023, after AUG 1st, dues for new members will no longer be prorated. New Members, like current members, will pay the full yearly dues regardless of the time of year you join and this will cover 12 months of membership from the time you join. Pack dues for 2023 are $190.00 for new members.
3.) Turn in a Family Talent Survey. This form helps both you and the pack leadership get a feeling for how you want to participate in the pack. Email it to address above or bring to the first meeting.
4.) Get a uniform (hat, shirt, neckerchief, slide, and belt) and Scout Handbook for your scout. These can be purchased at the Palmetto Scout Shop which does NOT charge sales tax for any orders. Since the Shop is in Spartanburg, if you place an online order it will be delivered to the Cub Master that same week for free. Pack 108 will then get the items to you at the next Den/Pack meeting. Proceeds from the Palmetto Scout Shop stay in our Council and help fund Scouting events!
