Join Pack 442

Are you ready to start scouting?

We are excited that you are interested in joining Pack 442 and the Boy Scouts of America! To help guide you, we have outlined the steps that takes to become a member.

1. Apply and tell us about yourself!

The first step for all NEW SCOUTS is to fill out an online application through Scouting America that will get your son registered with our pack.  There is an $85 enrollment fee due with the application, and once these are done you will be assigned to the Pack 442 at The Lakeway Church.

​

Required Forms (4): 

  1. Pack 442 Enrollment Form (ALL SCOUTS)

  2. Medical Form(s) - This form must be downloaded, completed and returned in person or scanned. Please either scan and return to lakewayscouts442@gmail.com OR bring to your first Pack meeting. **Please note that all members of your family will need a health form on file to participate in any of our campouts or overnight trips.

  3. Photo/Media Release (ALL SCOUTS)

  4. Family Talent Survey - We are a family organization, and with that we encourage parents to find opportunities to be involved with the group.  This can be done through being an registered adult volunteer with a position and role, to helping out with an activity or event.

​

Please return any scanned, completed forms to our Pack Committee or bring them to your first pack meeting. 

2. Pay your dues

The generous support of our Scout families allows us to offer boys in Lakeway the best programming. Dues are paid annually and used only to fund activities and administrative costs, including advancements that are earned by the scouts. Our program is funded through dues and a very successful fundraising program.

 

First-time new Scouts, must pay a $85 enrollment fee when the application is complete. This enrolls you in the the BSA program and Scoutbook+, which is a rank and advancement tracking program.  Pack Dues are $175 dollars per scouting year for new and returning scouts.

 

Contact Cubmaster Bryan Weatherford at lakewayscouts442@gmail.com for information about financial and uniform assistance.

​

Visit our Pack Store to pay your dues and, if you are a NEW Scout, the enrollment fee. ​You can pay via Venmo (preferred) or via credit card at checkout. Select "Manual Payment" at checkout if you are able to use Venmo. Be sure to include your Scout First and Last Name + Dues Payment in the description on Venmo. 

3. Get your gear

Scout uniforms are an important part of the Boy Scouts of America program and one of the methods of scouting. Each boy gets to be part of a group demonstrated by their uniform and each group has a personal sense of identity. The scout uniform is also a display case for a scout's individual accomplishments and recognitions. We wear the uniform to associate ourselves with the principles to which we are committed - character development, citizenship training, and physical and mental fitness. The uniform is not intended to hide our individuality, but it is a way we give each other strength and support.
