Detailed explanation of fees

Monmouth Council Service Fee: An annual local council fee charged by Monmouth Council in addition to national Scouting registration fees. The fee helps support programs, services, and resources provided by the local council to Packs, Troops, and other Scouting units throughout the area.

Insurance: This is insurance provided at the council level (not national) which covers primary general liability and secondary accident and sickness coverage at all unit, district, and council events.

National Fee: The annual membership fee required by Scouting America to maintain a Scout’s registration and support national programs, training, youth protection, insurance, and administrative services.

Leader Registration and Insurance Offset: All of our leaders are volunteers who dedicate many hours each month to ensure that every Scout has a fun and rewarding experience. To serve in an official capacity, all leaders must be registered with the national Scouting organization and covered by insurance. This includes positions such as the Cubmaster, Assistant Cubmaster, Den Leaders, Committee Chair, Committee Members, Charter Organization Representative, Treasurer, and Advancement Chair.

Scout Awards/Advancement/Pinewood Derby Car: All scouts work toward achieving their rank by participating in adventures and earning belt loops (Lion through Bear) or metal adventure pins (Webelos & Arrow of Light) placed on the Adventures Colors. Once they have completed all of the requirements, they receive an official badge for their rank. Each of these belt loops and pins are important in helping a scout recognize the progress they are making and have an associated nominal cost. The Pinewood Derby is one of the signature scouting events which involves engineering, creativity, sportsmanship, and most importantly, a sense of accomplishment. By providing each scout with the same starting point, we level the playing field while encouraging participation.

Misc Fees (bank fees, web site, scout portion of charter fee): The Pack incurs a number of recurring fees and administrative expenses necessary to support its day-to-day operations. These costs are shared among all Scouts to help ensure the Pack can continue to operate effectively and provide a quality Scouting program.

All events, outings, equipment, and other expenses are paid directly or through our fundraising efforts.
