Registration
What is the Registration Process for New Cub Scouts?
October 2023: Registration for 2023-2024 is now closed
Our pack is primarily associated with Creekside Elementary, but we do draw pack members from other schools. If you live outside of the Creekside area, please contact us at pack225@outlook.com before applying so that we can make sure you are aware of the area our pack serves.
To join Pack 225, follow these steps:
Go to Be A Scout - Cub Pack 225 and fill out an application for your scout.
If you are transferring from another pack you may indicate this in the application.
You will be asked to purchase a year membership with BSA. For the 2023/2024 year it will cost: $80 for BSA National, $30 for the Seattle Council, and $25 for a one-time new member fee. Once the 3.1% administration fee is included, the cost will be approximately $140.
Once we receive your application, we will verify that we have a spot in a den for you before accepting the application. If we do not have room (which almost never happens) we can reject the application and you will be refunded your BSA fees. Once we have accepted your application, however, there are no refunds from BSA.
Once we have verified we have a den for your scout, we will email you from pack225@outlook.com to let you know we have received your application and accepted it. (Please make sure you will receive mails from this account, as they do tend to end up in SPAM folders).
We will then instruct you on how to pay your pack dues. For 2023/2024 this will be $140. These dues covers the expenses of the pack, including a class B t-shirt your scout will receive. See Dues Explained for more information.
Once your pack dues have been paid, you will receive a Welcome Letter from the pack introducing you to your Den Leader. The Welcome Letter will also give you info on:
the pack calendar for the year
how to get your scout's Class A Uniform
how parents take Youth Protection Training
how to join Scoutbook
volunteer opportunities (our pack is run completely by volunteers)
and much more...
What is the Renewal Process for Scouts returning to Pack 225?
Our renewal process is simple: pay your pack ($140) and BSA dues ($110) via Zelle or Square. See Paying Dues for information on how to pay.
You will also have the option to purchase Scout Life magazine ($15).
