What are the initial costs?

    • The yearly registration fee is approximately $50. If you want a subscription to Boys’ Life, it is slightly more. This is due by the end of September.
    • Initial uniform and patches cost approximately $52. This includes shirt, patches, hat, and handbook. All subsequent awards, and neckerchiefs are provided at the pack’s expense. Official pants are not required, but look-alikes are easy to find, and preferred over jeans. Official pants zip apart to become shorts. More info on the uniform is here.
