These estimate totals include regular national & council membership, pack dues, and typical optional activities. Uniform costs are primarily a first-year expense and can often be built over time.

Cub Scouting operates at multiple levels. The national level, the council level and the local unit level, which is why families see separate fees.

• National dues Supports Scouting America, which develops program curriculum and advancement, training resources, and national program standards.

• Council dues Supports local Scouting through Pathway to the Rockies Council, including camps, events, leader training and resources for area units. 

• Pack dues Stays with the unit to fund your Scout’s program, including activities, awards, supplies, events and other unitexpenses.

Pack 110 does not receive any portion of the national or council dues.

Some optional activities may have small participation fees. When applicable, most one-time costs fall in the $15 to $30 range.

Any additional costs are always communicated in advance so families can plan.

Pack 110 uses two uniform types during the year.

• Class A (formal uniform) is worn at pack meetings and ceremonies. 

• Class B (activity uniform) is the pack or den T-shirt worn at casual and outdoor events. (Pack activity shirts are included in pack dues)

Well-fitting, presentable pants or shorts are acceptable in place of official uniform bottoms for most pack activities.
