• We use emails for all of our Pack communication and signups. Please provide an email address that you check regularly.
• Please provide us your cell phone number so we can reach each other during outings. You can enter your other phone numbers on Scoutbook.com.

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.
• Page 1, Part A requires 2 parent signaturesin 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”
• If your scout has a“life threatening allergy” please write it on the top of page 1 with a red sharpie.
• 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.

Submit a check payment of $125

• Check should be made out to Pack 1776 and can be turned in at the pack meetings or the pack mailbox inside the Coyote Creek office. (on a table by the front door)

• If you’re willing to be a trained uniformed leader, we will discount your registration fee by $50;one discount per paid scout. You must complete your BSA Adult Application Form, online Youth Protection training, have all the patches properly sewn onto your uniform, and wear your uniform whenever the scouts wear theirs.

 A $200 volunteer deposit check, postdated to 4/1/2018

• Please submit a separate postdated check made out to Pack 1776, 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.
• If you have fulfilled your eight minimum service hours and log it onto our website at https://pack1776.com/volunteering/we will return your $200 deposit at your child’s graduation.

BSA Youth Application Form for new scouts only.

• This form is required for all scouts new to Pack 1776, including boys transferring from another Pack.
• You can ignore the request to pay $18 online to BSA National; the Pack will pay for it using part of your $125 registration fee.

Acceptance into the Pack

• If you signed up during open registration (up to mid September), we automatically accept all boys from kindergarten to fourth grade. We only accept fifth grade boys that have completed Webelos I already.
• After the open registration period, we only accept new scouts with the Den Leader’s approval.
