$12 is to pay for an annual subscription to Boys Life magazine - this fee is optional

The $43 fee that stays with the pack will be used to pay for:

  • Cub Scout rank advancement…includes Tigercub pocket totems and beads
    Webelos activity pins, and patches, patches, patches!
  • Wolf and Bear arrow points
  • Sport and Academic belt loops and activity pins with Cub Scout letter
  • Attendance pins
