Note on Step 5 for NEW SCOUTS:
There was a recent change to the BSA website that requires new scouts to pay the national fees up front. Previously the pack paid this on behalf of the new scout from the pack registration fee. Given this change, pay the national fees online using your credit card and then deduct that amount from the $285 (or $240 early registration by June 1, 2023, or if a new Lion, $200) pack registration fee when preparing your check.

What's included in the annual registration fee?

Pack 1776's annual registration fee includes the cost to register with the Boys Scouts of America (national registration fee), the Council Program Fee, a one year subscription to Scout Life magazine, a Pack 1776 Class B uniform t-shirt, award belt loops or adventure pins, patches, and expenses in events like Halloween Party, Pinewood Derby, Raingutter Regatta, etc.  Uniforms and some adventures, patches, and den supplies are not included.

Helpful Registration Information & Terms

Medical Form Part A & B and Copy of Insurance

BSA requires parents to complete a new waiver and medical form every year in order for scouts to participate in activities.  Click here:  FORM.

Type the information into this fillable PDF and save for future use, as BSA requires parents to complete a new waiver and medical form every year in order for scouts to participate in activities.

  • Did you check the “none” box or list participant restrictions on the Medical A form?
  • Did both parents sign the Medical A form for the Scout? Page 1, Part A requires 2 parent signatures in the State of California.
  • Page 1, Part A asks for people who can take your scout to and from events. If you list names here, no one outside the list can take your child. We suggest writing “anyone from Pack 1776”.
  • Did you complete the allergies section? If your scout has a “life threatening allergy” please write it on the top of page 1 with a red sharpie.
  • Did you authorize non-prescription medicine (ie Tylenol) and sign if "yes"?
  • Did you fill in that last date of the tetanus shot? BSA requires a tetanus shot within the last 10 years.

Please provide a front and back copy of your child’s medical insurance card.

  • For immunization history, we only need the date of the last injection.
  • Please indicate if they received full Covid vaccinations and dates.

Registration Fee & Volunteer Deposit Checks

  • Write your Scout's first and last name and grade or scout rank in the memo line.
  • Submit a check payment of your applicable registration fee. 
  • Submit a $200 volunteer deposit check, postdated to 4/30/2024. Please submit a separate postdated check even if you are a uniformed leader. It simplifies our job when everyone follows the same rule. We will hold on to this check until the end of the scouting year and shred it if you fulfilled your 10-hour volunteer obligation.
  • If you have fulfilled your ten minimum service hours and log it onto our website at https://pack1776.com/volunteering/. We will shred your $200 deposit at your child’s graduation (usually in June).
  • We understand that some families have a hard time completing the minimum service hour. We will accept your $200 volunteer donation in exchange. It will be used to help train our Pack Leaders and support our scouting program.
