For our 2025-2026 calendar year, Scouting America has split the registration into two components.
First, we have Pack registration and dues, which are used to pay for items such as our campouts, Pinewood Derby, advancements, and all of the other events we provide throughout the school year. These Pack dues are collected yearly during the month of September. Scouts who join later in the school year will receive a prorated rate, please contact pack46newcity@gmail.com for more details on this.
Second, Council and National registration and dues are collected by Scouting America, and go towards maintaining the support staff and systems that allow scouting to exist. These dues are collected when you register with Scouts America, and will automatically renew each year on the anniversary of your initial sign up.
In order to join Pack 46 and Scouting America, please follow the steps below (both are required):
The Pack 46 fee for 2025-2026 is $0 for Lion scouts (kindergarten) and $165 for Tigers through Webelos (first thru fifth grades). Please mail a check made payable to Cub Scout Pack 46 to Noelle Chartier at 13 Beverly Place, New City, NY, 10956. In the memo on the check please put your scouts name. Also, please include our Pack Picture Permission form (found here) and Medical Forms A and B (found here) with the check.
The Council and National fee for 2025-2026 ranges from $165 to $185 through November 30th, then $220 to $235 December 1st forward, and will be determined automatically based on options selected when registering, when you register, as well as if you were previously a member of Scouts BSA.

Note that there is a $20 discount on the Pack 46 portion of the dues for each additional scout if you sign up more than one child (excluding Lion scouts).
