- How much is it going to cost?
- Pack 479 dues are $10.00 a month. Can be paid monthly or all at once, or even 2 or 3 months at a time....its up to you, but at least monthly.
Half the dues go toward covering the cost of awards and the other half goes toward covering the cost of supplies needed for den activities and projects.
Other activities that the pack does may require a small fee. The good news is that the more your scout participates in the Pack fundraisers, the less you will have to pay out of your pocket. - Where can I buy uniforms, pack and den number patches?
- You may purchase them online (you can find the link under the helpful links tab)
