What Do I Need?

Here are pretty close estimates of what it will cost for a year of scouting. The uniforms are a one time expense you will not need to get a new one each year. Pack 396 also has a annual fundraiser in the fall. We sale popcorn and greenery. Pack 396 applies a percentage of each boy's popcorn sales to his camp costs. It is possible for a boy to sale enough popcorn to go to camp for free!

Where is the Scout Shop and what do we need to buy?

The Scout Shop is located at 1900 North Meridian Street, in a white building on the west side of Meridian Street, about ten blocks south of the Children's Museum. It is open M-F 8:30-6 and Sat 9-3. Tiger, Wolf, Bear, and Webelos Scouts need a Cub Scout uniform shirt, which costs about $23. Tiger, Wolf and Bear Scouts wear blue shirts; Webelos Scouts may wear tan shirts with blue epaulets. Most boys also wear a Cub Scout or Webelos hat (optional). Patches usually worn on the Cub Scout uniform are the Crossroads Council shoulder patch, the Pack numerals 396, World Scout Crest Emblem, and Den number patch (optional). The patches range in price from $.70 to $2 each. The people at the shop will help you.
