SCOUT FEES

New Scouts: The fees below are collected by Scouts BSA at the time of registration by credit card online or by check if filling out a paper application. Pack fees are paid directly to the pack via Venmo or check.

Pack 490 Fee**: $0 - $250
 

*National and Council fees paid online at my.scouting.org.

**Pack 490 fee is determined by each scout’s annual popcorn fundraising. See below for more information. Fees are due by 12/15/26 and can be paid by Venmo or check to the pack Treasurer.

POPCORN SALE
This is our primary method to raise funds to support our annual program costs. All Scouts (New and Returning) are expected to sell popcorn which helps to ensure the Pack can afford to pay for all the activities and adventures planned throughout the year.

New and returning scouts have a $250 pack fee. The amount due on 12/15/26 is prorated based on the amount of popcorn sold. Scouts can apply $0.33 per $1 popcorn sold towards annual pack fees. Scouts who have $775* or more popcorn sales will have a $0 pack fee.

*Individual popcorn totals will be calculated to include 100% of individual and online sales as well as a percentage of total storefront sales. Storefront sales will be calculated with each participating scout receiving a  portion of the total sales from all storefront sales divided based on the number of hours worked across all storefront sales. Note: The total sales shown in the Trail’s End app will differ from the scout’s total popcorn sales due to this additional calculation. If you have questions please contact Pack Treasurer at 490cubscouts@gmail.com.

**Venmo payments should be sent to @Pack-ThirtyFourNinety. Checks should be made payable to Pack 490 and given directly to our Pack Treasurer (490cubscouts@gmail.com).
