Step 1: Complete a Membership Application
Click here to apply online with a credit card. You will have to pay a prorated registration fee and a one-time BSA joining fee of $25.
The other way to apply is to fill out a paper application. BSA has moved to 100% online applications, but if there’s a glitch, it is possible to fall back to paper. We usually have some on hand, or you can print it out from the Internet and turn it in.
Step 2: Contact Us
Regardless of how you apply, please contact us and let us know of your interest. We will assign you to a den and notify the den leader. He or she will contact you and tell you when the den meets. The Cubmaster will invite you to pack activities.
Step 3: Attend Meetings
Now, come to the next meeting! If you’re undecided on joining, you can participate and see whether Scouting and this pack are a good fit for you.
Once you decide to join, we will need three things from you:
- The completed membership application (online, paper, or print out)
- A completed medical form
- Membership dues (prorated, as applicable)
Eligibility
Anyone in grades K through 5 (OR ages 6 through 10) may become Cub Scouts. Once a boy completes fifth grade OR turns 11, he should join Troop 390.

Fees
Pack 3390 charges $125 annual membership dues. BSA also charges a $25 one-time joining fee for new members.
The membership dues only cover a portion of the cost of the program. All scouts (except Lions) are asked to also participate in fundraising.
Fees pay for things such as camping, recognition items (awards/belt loops/trophies/patches), pinewood derby, the Blue and Gold banquet, supplies for den and pack meetings, liability insurance, Boys Life Magazine, and a few other things.
No scout is turned away due to an inability to pay. For more information about this, talk to the Committee Chair or Cubmaster.
Uniforms
Details can be provided by the Cubmaster regarding where uniforms can be purchased and what is included with Pack Dues.
About Religion and Membership
The Boy Scouts of America officially recognizes faith in God as a core piece of the Scouting program. The Scouting program is non-sectarian, but units observe religious faith according to the chartering organization and their own beliefs.
We welcome (and have) non-Catholics in our pack, and no one is required to take part in distinctly Catholic ceremonies or activities in conflict with their personal beliefs (per the BSA Charter and Bylaws).
Conversely, all adults associated with the pack are asked to maintain a supportive or neutral orientation towards teaching on faith and morals during official Scouting activities and interactions with the boys.
