How to Join Pack 100

Registration requires: 

1. Complete an application to Pack 100 online here or scan the QR code to the right.

   • If for some reason the direct link above is not working, go to BeAScout.Scouting.org

   • Enter the Westford zip code 01886 and then click on the Cub Scout icon for grades K-5

   • Press the blue button to "Find a Unit"

   • Pack 100 usually is first in the list as "Pack 0100 Westford Rotary Club Inc."

2. Registering with Scouting America

   • You'll first be prompted to create an account and then start registering your child

   • The site will collect National and Council fees 

   • You have the option of subscribing to Scout Life magazine at this time ($15, encouraged because the kids enjoy it)

   • This does not include Pack dues of $60 (see below)

3. Turn in a BSA Health Form Parts A & B for your Scout

   • These need to be printed (we prefer double-sided printing) and require a wet signature (sign with blue or black ink please). We cannot accept or safely store electronic copies. Please provide 2 copies. The three key pieces of information you'll need from the Pack are:  

     1. Unit Leader, Erica Chilson (for this form)

     2. Erica's Number (603-682-2985)

     3. Council #: 227; Unit #: 100

   • Sign Page A

   • Sign Page B2 - a doctor's signature is not required. Immunizations may be listed by the parent; the only required immunization is a current tetanus shot! In the medications section, if you don't wish your child to receive any medications, mark "no."

   • Part C is not needed by the Pack (this is for Summer Camp)

   • Forms and Pack dues must be turned in at the first Pack meeting or at time of registration. A Scout may not participate in an overnight outing or Cubmobile without completed Health Forms.

4. Paying  Pack dues:

   • Pack 100 dues ($60) cover the cost of providing the program to your Scout such as belt loops or pins, Pinewood Derby Kits, and other items.  Pack dues should be paid at the start of every school year in September or at the time of registration.

   • The preferred method to pay dues is by personal check .  Please include the names of all Scouts for whom you are paying dues on the memo line of your personal check payable to "Westford Pack 100".

   • Scouts may not participate in overnight outings, Cubmobile, or Pinewood Derby

5. Purchase your Cub Scout's uniform and handbook

   • For indoor meetings we wear the traditional "Class A" uniform. This includes a navy blue (or tan for 5th grade AOL Scouts) button down shirt, rank-specific neckerchief and slide, belt (where Cub Scouts display their achievements in the form of belt loops for each completed adventure), and rank-specific hat.

   • For outdoor meetings we usually wear "Class B" (Pack t-shirts). Each Scout receives their first Pack t-shirt for free; if you need a new t-shirt or would like additional shirts for family members, they are $20. If your Scout outgrows their Class B t-shirt, we are happy to exchange a shirt in good condition for a larger size. 

   • While we manage advancement in an online tool called Scoutbook, the requirements for each adventure, directions, and supporting background for all of the achievements are in a rank-specific Handbook. 

     1. You can order a hard copy of any Handbook from the Scout Shop https://www.scouting.org/programs/cub-scouts/den-meeting-resources/

     2.  You can view snapshots of each rank's adventures online: https://www.scouting.org/programs/cub-scouts/adventures/

     3. The Handbooks are also available in Kindle versions: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L3Z2Q2Q?&linkCode=sl1&tag=scoutshop-20
