more about becoming a Boy Scout
Who can Join?
To join Boy Scouts, a boy must be 11 years old
and in the fifth grade, or 10 1/2 years old and in the fifth grade and have
earned the Arrow of Light Award as a Webelos Scout (Cub Scouting), but
not yet have reached the age of 18.
Usually a boy should visit more than one troop
before he chooses to join one. It is best to choose a troop that is near
one's home so that it is convenient for him to get to activities. The
boy's parents should accompany him to the first meeting. After a
discussion with one of the Adult Leaders, the boy and his parents will
fill out the application form, pay the troop registration fee, and receive
a BSA health history/physical/consent to medical treatment form, to be
turned in within two weeks. A Scout must be registered (Troop
registration fee paid) to participate in Troop activities and campouts
(as per BSA National policy).
How Much does it cost?
Membership cost $120.00 per year that’s
only $10 dollars a month; Boys Life Magazine Subscription (optional) cost
$10.80 per year. This includes the troop number patch, a scout book (if a
new scout) a troop scarf and more!.
What will I need?
Scout Uniform. You can purchase them
from one of the local scout shops,
or online from the Online Catalog.
How do I sign up?

What are the rules?
1. You must memorize the Scout Oath,
Law, Motto and Slogan, know what they mean, and promise to always do your
best.

leaders. It will soon be your turn to be a leader, and you will want the
same treatment.
3. Always have FUN, and always be considerate of others.
