What is the Annual RenewalThe Boy Scouts of America (BSA) provides a charter to organizations that want to use the BSA program as part of the chartering organization's programs. The BSA permits chartering organizations to use the program and also agrees to provide various services as part of the chartering agreement. Units belong to the chartering organization and not the BSA. The charter is good for one year. After that time the chartering organization must renew its charter and the membership of the youth and adults in that organization's units.
Not all Units renew their charter at the same time. Pack 301 renews its charter in December. We must ensure that we have all the fees collected, paper work entering into the BSA's database, and required signatures. If a youth or adult does not provide their fees by the required due date they will be dropped from the charter and will have to reapply to the BSA for membership in Pack 301. |
How Much Are Renewal Fees?
|
The total renewal fee for Scouts returning for the 2021-22 Program Year is $140 for non-Arrow of Light Scouts, and $109 for Arrow of Light Scouts. This fee is broken down as follows:
BSA National Annual Registration Fee of $72 (Yearly) (All Scouts)
Pack 301 Annual Program Fee of $68 (Yearly) (Non Arrow of Light Scouts)
Pack 301 Annual Program Fee of $37 (Yearly) (Arrow of Light Scouts)
Note: Arrow of Light Scouts will cross over to Scouts BSA Troops. Therefore, they do not purchase awards or neckerchiefs and slides for future rank. That is the difference between Cub Scout fees and Arrow of Light fees.

How do I pay?
|
Payment can be made by Check or Credit Card! Credit Card payments are handled through the XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX site. To simplify our accounting, no cash is accepted for renewal fees.
PAYMENTS IS DUE BY SEPTEMBER 30TH. Pack 301 is a volunteer run organization. Once payment is made there are number of behind the scenes steps that Pack Leaders and the Parish have to complete in order to submit the charter to the BSA by early December. Late renewal payment may require Parents to complete a new registration form and additional new registration fees for BSA.
