As announced several times here in the "Two Annual Scouting Payments" announcement and in our "2024-25 Youth Pack Registration and Pack Dues" page, there are now two parts of payment to be in Pack 631 annually.  One is our Local Pack Program Fees (a/k/a "Dues") paid by (for) each Scout for the school year -- this can be paid now on this page, and the second is Scouting America (f/k/a BSA) National Registration Fee paid by (for) each Scout and each Leader directly to the Scouting America (BSA) National organization for the next 12 months -- these can only be paid within 60 days of your "Anniversary Date" (more below).

Many of you are now receiving emails from Boy Scouts of America <noreply@scouting.org> entitled "Your BSA Membership is up for renewal".  Please follow the instructions in that email to pay that second amount directly to the Scouting America National Organization.  If you have questions after review of that email and the "Two Annual Scouting Payments" announcement, contact your interim acting Pack Chair Bert Bender. 

If you've decided NOT to do Cub Scouts with Pack 631 and want off these emails, just  send an email to webmaster@atlanta631.mypack.us and we'll take you off.  But read on for more ...  

There are 109 youth names in this Website who expressed interest in Cub Scouting here and haven't expressed a desire to exit -- we hope you will participate as Scouts in Cub Scout Pack 631!  Even if you haven't attended a Den Meeting yet, you can do this.  Cub Scouting is all about Fun, Family and Friends -- Creating Community!  Do fun things with your families and friends, and invite more families and friends to do fun things with you.  (Anyone can invite a new family to join us.)

And there are many activities other than "advancement".  Check out The Great Big List of Places to Go and Things to Do Around Atlanta or this list of Fun, Simple, Easy activities - you'll find fun things to do.  

Here's our current "interested" numbers at each Grade Level (Den level) -- Reminder:  you need a Login to some pages, like the Calendar and Roster, and if you've forgotten the login, email webmaster@atlanta631.mypack.us:

Two Annual Scouting Payments.  There are now two parts of payment to be in Pack 631 annually:

(1) Local Pack Program Fees (a/k/a "Dues") paid by (for) each Scout for the school year -- these can be paid now, and

(2) Scouting America (f/k/a BSA) National Registration Fee paid by (for) each Scout and each Leader directly to the Scouting America (BSA) National organization for the next 12 months -- these can only be paid within 60 days of your "Anniversary Date" (more below).  Those of you who registered before 8/1/23 will start to receive emails about this in early November.

This page (or https://atlanta631.mypack.us/node/3821) is where you will pay Local Pack Program Fees (a/k/a "Dues") -- the costs that the Pack must cover in order to operate properly, like Patches and Awards and Supplies and Food for the Blue + Gold Awards Banquet and other events and Pack equipment (Trailer, Gear, Supplies) and Packmaster + Website + Photo Site and other expenses and also reimbursement of Adult Leader Registrations.

• This Local Pack Program Fees or "dues" amount paid on this page to the Pack does not include National Registration Fees payable to the National Scouting America Organization. 

How Do We Pay the National Scouting America Registration Fees?  Short answer: directly to the National Scouting America organization. Longer Answers:

• If you are not currently Registered with the National Scouting America Organization as a member or leader in Pack 631, or if your registration has lapsed, please see these steps to register.
• If you are not sure whether you are on our National Scouting America Roster, email webmaster@atlanta631.mypack.us

• If you are currently Registered with the National Scouting America Organization as a member or leader in Pack 631, families will "renew" their Scout's National Scouting America membership directly and Adult Leaders will likewise renew their National Scouting America membership directly -- you will receive emails with payment instructions directly from Scouting America starting 60 days before your "Anniversary Date" -- and pay directly.  This is new in 2024.
