You may join anytime of the year.
Joining requires:
annual membership with National Scouting organization, $135 - sign up here
participation in fundraisers or making an opt out payment, typically ~$50
Upon joining, you will be added to our email list and welcomed by our recruiting committee.
We open up a store at Alfred's once a year and you can buy a Pack 226 t-shirt or sweatshirt if you'd like.
And camp outs and outings (museum sleepover for example) are paid separately based on # of family members.
