REQUIRED FORMS TO TURN IN:
Youth Registration Form:
All youth must be registered with the BSA.
Your Pack Registration Chair will handle all registrations with the form you turn in.
Adult Application Form:
All adults registering to be leaders or committee members must fill out an application form and take Youth Protection Training (YPT) online prior to their application being accepted by the council office. You will still turn in your adult application to the Registration Chair without the YPT training. The Registration Chair will hold on to it until a copy of the applicant's YPT certificate is attached. It will then be forwarded to the Council office. All adult applications must approved by the Pack Committee Chairman and the Chartered Organization Representative. Their decisions are final. There must also be an opening in the position desired for the application to be approved and processed.
Annual Health & Medical Form and Medical Insurance Card:
All registered adults and scouts must include an Annual Health & Medical Record Form with their registration fee. This is a BSA requirement. A photocopy of your medical insurance card must be attached to the Annual Health & Medical Record Form. Please use paper clips not staples as we have to remove them to make photocopies.
Pack Guidelines Acknowledgement Form:
At least one parent must sign an acknowledgement that they have read and understand the Pack Guidelines (formerly the Pack By-Laws). These are the rules governing pack operations along with scout, parent, and guest conduct. Acknowledgement forms are valid until the next revision of the Guidelines are published.
Current members, please read the Roundup Announcement Page for more info on returning scouts. (You'll have to log in for that).
Our goal is to make joining our pack and/or returning a smooth and easy process for everyone.
