New Scouts

Pack 55 welcomes all boys and girls to join as new scouts.  Registration for new scouts is a two step process.

Step 1.  Go to Scouting America's registration website at this link to register with Pack 55.  You will be asked to pay a new scout joining fee ($25) and a prorated annual registration fee at the time of registration.  These fees go directly to the Scouting America national organization.

Step 2.  Pay Pack 55's activity fee/dues via P-55's Doubleknot system at this link.

The new scout will then be assigned to one of our pack’s dens based on his/her current school grade level.  Completion of the BSA health form will also be needed (see below).

Returning Scouts

A returning Scout (previously registered with BSA / Scouting America) needs to renew his/her registration in Nov or Dec of each year, pay the annual registration fee to Scouting America, and also pay P-55's Activity Fee/Dues annually.  The registration renewal is done via Scouting America's my.scouting.org website and the registration fee is paid as part of that process. The Pack 55 activity fee is paid via P-55's Doubleknot system at this link.

BSA Medical Forms are required for all Scouts and for all family members who participate on the Pack 55 campouts and in-person, outdoor pack events.  Here is the link to the BSA Medical Form.  Please fill out your health form (for scout and adult participants) and bring it to your first in-person pack event.  We suggest that you fill out the electronic .pdf file and save a copy for your records.  This method will allow parents to quickly update the medical form as needed on a yearly basis without having to fill out a new medical form by hand.

Adult Volunteers

For an adult to be a registered leader at Pack 55, he/she needs to register with Scouting America at this link.  The adult will need to complete the Youth Protection Training and pay the registration fee to Scouting America.  The adult does not pay any activity fee to Pack 55.

For an adult to continue beyond the initial year, the adult needs to renew his/her registration in Nov or Dec of each year.  This is done via the my.scouting.org website.  Youth Protection Training needs to be renewed every second year.

Change of Address

If a scout moves to a new address, that scout's parents should use the BSA registration link above to enter the new address.

Scholarships

No boy or girl will be turned away because of financial hardship.  Scholarships from the pack are available.  For more information, please contact the Pack 55 Committee Chair (pcc@pack55.org).
