Re: What do Cub Packs charge?

We charge $45 per cub scout per year. That includes all awards, insurance,
Boys Life, and other things such as meals at camp outs, patches for events,
Pack activity costs, Tiger book if applicable, and some trip costs. For
more details, see our pack faq at www.tnx.com/~pack188
